Notes
- If the bread is very stale: Stale bread becomes tough. However, sprinkling it with water before baking helps steam it to soften the middle, so it isn’t overly tough.
- Use ripe, in-season produce: This bread salad recipe only contains a few ingredients, so use the freshest, best produce you can.
- Don’t cut the bread/pita too big: That way, you get a little of everything in every forkful.
- Leave it to rest: 30 minutes is ideal to allow all the flavors to blend.
