Salad of tomatoes and pickled peppers - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of bread for the croutons?

Absolutely! Crusty bread like sourdough or baguette works best, but feel free to experiment with whatever you have on hand. Even leftover sandwich bread can be transformed into delicious croutons.

I don't have pickled peppers. What's a good substitute?

Roasted red peppers are a great alternative! You can roast them yourself or use jarred roasted peppers. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

How long will this salad last in the fridge?

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the bread will soften over time. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the parmesan just before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.

Can I make this salad vegetarian or vegan?

To make it vegetarian, simply ensure your Parmesan cheese is vegetarian-friendly (some use animal rennet). For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese altogether or substitute with a vegan Parmesan alternative. You can also add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

I'm watching my carbs. Can I make this salad low-carb?

To reduce carbs, skip the bread croutons altogether. You might want to add some toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch and flavor.

Any tips for getting the garlic flavor just right?

Crushing the garlic clove releases its flavor effectively. If you prefer a milder garlic taste, you can leave the clove whole and remove it after a few minutes or use garlic-infused oil.

What's a nice side dish to serve with this salad?

This salad is great on its own for lunch or as a side dish. It pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or a simple pasta dish.
