Panzanella!

Did you know there is a type of salad that is mostly bread?

!!!!

I first made this using this recipe for Tuscan Bread and Tomato Salad. But it was in need of something extra, so I added fresh mozzarella. Then it needed a little more veggie action so I added fresh-from-the garden greens. And one time I had an avocado on hand, so I added that. Brilliant! Perfection! (Oh, and I add some dijon to the dressing.) And I use little sungold tomatoes from the garden, when available.

While this tastes lovely as a main course salad on a hot summer day, I can't figure out how to make it equally as yumski without the fresh homemade croutons, which require some hot oven action.
