“This is my variation of panzanella. Each ingredient having it's own intense flavor, when combined, creates an explosive salad. Perfect for a summer day.” - by Debra

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Toss bread cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper on a large baking sheet until evenly coated; spread mixture into a single layer.
Bake in preheated oven until toasted, about 10 minutes.
Transfer toasted bread to a large bowl and mix with strawberries, tomatoes, feta cheese, and onion. Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, and honey in a small bowl; drizzle over bread and tomato salad. Toss to coat.

"First, the toasted bread cubes/croutons are delicious enough to prepare for ANY salad. In the future, when I have a piece of french bread left, it will be turned into these tasty croutons. The ital..." See moreian bread at the store did not look great, so I switched to a loaf of crusty french bread which proved to be the perfect choice. This salad has the perfect balance of salty, sweet and tart. One might think that the combination of strawberries and tomatoes is odd (I did), but when paired with those toasted bread cubes, salty feta cheese, and a flavorful drizzle of olive oil, honey, and red wine vinegar, WOW! To say we enjoyed this salad is putting it mildly. To say we LOVED it is accurate!"
