Stacked Tomato, Summer Vegetable and Grilled Bread Salad
A beautiful display of summer vegetables at their peak. This salad consists of grilled vegetables piled high onto a slice of country-style grilled bread, topped with goat cheese, herbs and double tomato dressing. The instructions are long, but don’t worry, the individual steps are not too difficult.
