This is the third time I've made this salad this summer and I'm still loving it. I like it best with a glass of ice tea and some toasted flat bread that we get from TJs. Yum!
An unusual salad that sounds deliciously tempting! Just not sure what flat bread may be! Like Lebanese bread?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...there are actually a ton of different flat breads - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatbread. I have no idea which one listed on the wikipedia page would be closest to what I was using, which is something I picked up from Trader Joes, a local grocery store. The label says it's "Middle Eastern Flatbread." It's like a thicker pita bread without the pocket.
