Ingredients

3 (1-inch thick) slices from an 8 by 4-inch sourdough round
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup peeled, seeds removed, and diced English cucumber
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon capers
2 teaspoons freshly chopped Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoons freshly julienned basil leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1 avocado, cut in half, pitted and flesh diced

Directions

Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Drizzle both sides of bread with 3 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides until nicely marked and somewhat crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from grill, set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, garlic, capers, parsley and basil. Drizzle in the vinegars, remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss again. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, cut bread into 1-inch cubes and toss gently with the vegetables. Gently fold in goat cheese and avocado and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Great taste and quick!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was excellent salad. I had all ingredients on hand (pretty much) and pulled it together as my husband was grilling... chicken. We both enjoyed it very much. Adaptions I made was to use a whole grain bread, white balsamic vinegar and feta cheese because that's what I had. Will definately make again. Read more

Great Flavor, But Not A "Leafy Salad"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe, but there are no traditional salad greens in this one. I like the smoothness the avocado imparts,... and the silky texture of the goat cheese. I have also tried this using feta, and it was just as good. Definitely be sure ot add the bread at the very last minute to avoid the soaked-up factor. For me personally, I like a little more char on the bread to give it even more flavor. Read more

Refreshing change to a salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is not your typical green salad. I'm not a big fan of avocado but all the ingredients were a nice mix and very tasty.... Not a salad you can have the next day as the bread gets soggy. We found it to be a excellent compliment to Guy's Slamma Jamma Parmiginia.Read more
