Bread Salads

the Cretan Salad at the restaurant near my house
the home made version with better Feta, better tomatoes and fresh oregano
Lebanese Fattouche 

Bread salad are pretty common in the Mediterranean,  Tuscan Panzanella with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and basil dressed with olive oil and vinegar or Lebanese Fattouche with romaine, cucumbers, radishes, pickles, mint and Sumac dressed with garlic and lemon .  Recently I was introduced to a Cretan version with barley rusks and Feta and capers and olives at my local Greek restaurant.  Of course I wanted to make it better with farmers market tomatoes and fresh oregano instead of dried.  Now I'm on a bread salad frenzy.  I made Fattouche with vegetables from the farmers market.
