Reviews
Every time I’ve made this recipe it gets rave reviews! It’s great to bring to a BBQ potluck. Be sure to let the dressing soak on the bread for a good hour. Delicious!!!
This recipe was excellent and easy. Didn’t have any ciabatta bread – and I waited until I served it to add the oil and vinegar, basil and feta – to keep it fresh – and it was truly delicious!
This recipe was great! I some ciabatta and feta that I needed to use up, and luckily I stumbled across this recipe. I loved that it was so fast to make, and the flavors were so fresh and delicious–reminds me of summer!
I made this recipe but only using a little less than a loaf on rustic bread and no ciabatta and it was wonderful. I recommend it to anyone.
Great recipe to make quickly and cheaply!
