This combination is delicious, and the fresh garlic and basil are a must.

I loved this salad, with a twist of Italy, with the freshly made bread cube and bacon just sets it off. I love Hunt's tomatoes, they taste the closes to freshly home grown cut ones in the winter time. This is also a great plus to this salad.
