I add apples, oranges, dried cranberries and bell pepper rings into marinate also. Makes for a great meal sans meat.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup bottled italian dressing (i use zesty italian )
3/4 cup red onion, slice into rings, halve, then quarter
3 cups tomatoes, chunked (i use romas, less juicy )
2 -3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 -2 carrot, slice into thin rings
3 -5 dashes hot sauce, to taste
1/2 lb italian bread, day old, torn into bite size chunks
1/3 cup black olives, pitted, drained and slice into rings
1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated or shredded, if using freshly grated use 1/4 cup
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Combine marinate ingredients in a mixing bowl and cover.
2. Refrigerate 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. In a large bowl, toss bread, olives and marinated ingredients. Sprinkle with cheese and basil, add salt and pepper to your taste.
