Bruschetta Dinner Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, bagel chips, basil, red onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; toss until evenly combined. Refrigerate until chilled, 15 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Turn on broiler, if using.
• Brush olive oil lightly over one side of each bread slice, using no more than 1 tablespoon all together. Cut garlic clove and rub oiled side of bread with the cut side of garlic.
• Prepare stove-top grill, if using. Grill or broil bread on prepared side until it browns.
• Whisk the remaining oil with the vinegar and mustard.
• Trim, wash and dry the arugula, and set aside.
• Wash, trim and thickly slice the tomatoes, leaving any cherry or tiny pear-shaped tomatoes whole.
• Arrange arugula on two plates. Cut toasted bread in half and place the side brushed with oil up. Arrange bread on top of arugula. Arrange tomato slices on the bread, and scatter the remaining tomatoes on the arugula. Sprinkle the dressing over the tomatoes. Then, turn over the tomatoes that are on top of the bread so that the dressing seeps into the bread.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and sugar together to make dressing. Add onion, salt, and pepper; mix well.
• Combine warm pasta and dressing in a large bowl until pasta is well coated. Let cool, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil to the cooled pasta. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
