A salad is a delicious way to give stale breads a second life: Breads can lend crunch and texture, soak up juices and dressings, and add flavor, too.

View Recipe: Chickpea Panzanella

Fresh and fast, this meatless main redefines the art of convenience cooking. We toast the bread in the oven, but if you already have the grill cranked up, this salad easily transitions to an outdoor dish. If your bakery carries whole-grain ciabatta, use it for a nutrition boost.

We use the broiler to keep this vibrant summer salad speedy, but if you already have the grill cranked up, this dish easily transitions to an outdoor entrée.

BLT Bread Salad

Think of this hearty tossed salad as a deconstructed BLT sandwich, where the bread appears in the form of croutons. Round out the plate with fresh cantaloupe.

Panzanella

Jim Denevan of Outstanding in the Field prepares this salad to showcase specialty varieties of vegetables. In spring, halved cherry tomatoes are your best bet. In summer, heirloom variety beefsteak tomatoes work well.

Pita Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumber, and Herbs

This recipe is similar to fattoush, a Lebanese bread salad. Traditionally, the bread is fried; here, it’s crisped in the oven. Shredded cooked chicken converts it to a main course.
