Tomato Bread Salad with Herbs

Ingredients
2 Tbs red-wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced and mashed with a pinch of salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups 1/4 inch cubes crusy bread
1 lbs red tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 lbs yellow tomatoes, but into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup fresh basil chopped fine
2 Tbs fresh marjoram leaves chopped fine
1/2 cup Nicoise or Kalamata olives, pitted (optional)

In a bowl, whisk together vinegar, garlic paste, and pepper to taste. Add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Add remaining ingredients and salt to taste and toss to combine well. Let salad stand at room temperature 15 minutes to allow bread to soak up some dressing. If making ahead, do not add breadcrumbs until just before serving.

Serves 4-6 people

Based on a recipe from "Gourmet Parties"
