    The story behind Grilled Tuscan Bread Salad

    This Grilled Tuscan Bread Salad is a great way to use up day-old bread. I developed this recipe as a part of a Backyard Tuscan Garden Party for my client. It was published in an advertorial that appeared as a part of Gourmet Magazine's Gourmet GuestList.com series.

    Ah Gourmet, how I miss you 🙁

    This salad is super easy to put together and is a really tasty addition to the menu for a Tuscan Backyard Barbeque. 

    Also included on the menu was: Grilled Summer Vegetables with Herb Dressing, Skewers with Italian Style Chimichurri, and a Toasted Polenta Cake, with Glazed Stone Fruit and Olive Oil Vanilla Ice Cream.

    YUM! Ready to party?

    Hi, I'm Lindy.

    I am a home-trained chef who loves to cook and eat delicious food. As I like to say, "Life is too short to eat mediocre food". And I find too much food out there is mediocre. I don't think good food needs to be fussy, or difficult to prepare. Most of my recipes are fresh, quick, easy, and tasty while keeping both calories and fats in check.
