Yummy Bread Salad

Saturday

So I was really sick this past week. After eating food that was not homemade for two days (and by not homemade I mean store bought pizza and broiled chicken) I had to "resort to" something so simple that my kids could really help with most of the work and it didn't require me to cook! After thinking for awhile I remembered last summer I used to make this often and recalled how super easy it was to prepare. I had my kids crumble the bread (which they REALLY enjoyed) and I basically chopped a little spinach, tomatoes and tofu and amazingly dinner was done! Plus, this serves 8 so if you make it for lunch you can use the rest at dinner!

Ingredients:

1 8 oz pack WestSoy tomato basil baked tofu
or any 8 oz pre-marinated tofu cut in small cubes
1 pound loaf fresh or day old - torn into 1
inch chunks
3 cups chopped fresh spinach
3 roma tomatoes, diced
1 cup tomato juice
1 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, tomato juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Combine with the chucks of bread, tomatoes, tofu, and spinach just before serving.
