Bruschetta Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, bagel chips, basil, red onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; toss until evenly combined. Refrigerate until chilled, 15 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
• Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
• To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, basil and dressing.
• Place lettuce in medium bowl; top with layers of croutons, chicken and tomato mixture.
• Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Turn on broiler, if using.
• Brush olive oil lightly over one side of each bread slice, using no more than 1 tablespoon all together. Cut garlic clove and rub oiled side of bread with the cut side of garlic.
• Prepare stove-top grill, if using. Grill or broil bread on prepared side until it browns.
• Whisk the remaining oil with the vinegar and mustard.
• Trim, wash and dry the arugula, and set aside.
• Wash, trim and thickly slice the tomatoes, leaving any cherry or tiny pear-shaped tomatoes whole.
• Arrange arugula on two plates. Cut toasted bread in half and place the side brushed with oil up. Arrange bread on top of arugula. Arrange tomato slices on the bread, and scatter the remaining tomatoes on the arugula. Sprinkle the dressing over the tomatoes. Then, turn over the tomatoes that are on top of the bread so that the dressing seeps into the bread.

Steps:

• Combine Marinade ingredients (except Chicken breast).
• Put marinade on chicken& marinade overnight.
• Grill chicken on BBQ or in broiler oven.
• Chill well, cut into strips and return to refrigerator.
• Prep tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and olives, combining with remaining salad ingredients except Spring Greens.

• Toss chicken strips.
• Serve atop a bed of spring greens with a garnish of fresh herbs sprigs.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and sugar together to make dressing. Add onion, salt, and pepper; mix well.
• Combine warm pasta and dressing in a large bowl until pasta is well coated. Let cool, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil to the cooled pasta. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss bread cubes with 1/4 cup of the dressing; spread into 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake 8 to 12 min. or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, mix tomatoes, onions and remaining 1/2 cup dressing in large bowl. Add greens, cheese and basil; toss lightly.
