Our good friend and clinical naturopath Renee Lynch has shared her go-to Festive Bread Salad recipes with us in preparation for Christmas and the entertaining season ahead of us all.
It's a cracker filled with nourishment, lots of love and plenty of delicious GOOD SIDE Caramelised Onions and GOOD Oil Balsamic.
INGREDIENTS
200g crustless rustic bread (stale or fresh) - sourdough or ciabatta, for example - cut in 2-3 cm cubes
Salt and pepper
2 small cucumbers, chopped
3 tomatoes, cut into wedges, or a variety of colourful cherry tomatoes, or heirloom tomatoes
1⁄4 cup of GOOD SIDE Caramelised Onions
1 red capsicum, cut into large chunks
1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
Dressing
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp sumac
Grated zest and juice of 1⁄2 lemon
1 garlic clove, crushed
11⁄2 tsp GOOD Oil Balsamic
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 170C.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the bread out.
Lightly drizzle with olive oil and season with flakey salt. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.
Allow to cool before mixing into other salad ingredients.
Mix all the other salad ingredients in a serving bowl. Just before serving, mix in the bread, using clean hands and toss through salad dressing with plenty of love.
