Ah, tomato bread salad! A classic Tuscan favourite of mine. This recipe has popped up again this weekend thanks to the fabulous summer sunshine! Whether you are having a BBQ, chilled out dinner in the garden with friends or a quick dinner on the balcony before heading out for an aperolspritz, this is the perfect dinner! It is also a good side dish which is perfect for this BBQ weather at the moment!
Quick, easy and hassle free. Happy sunny weekend!
