Ingredients

1 pound Italian bread , crusts removed, cut or torn into 1-inch cubes (about 6 cups)
1 red bell pepper , roasted, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 yellow bell pepper , roasted, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 small red onion (or white onion), quartered and sliced thin
1 medium scallion , trimmed and sliced thin, including 2 inches of greens
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Mix bread cubes and pepper strips in large bowl; set aside.

2. Mix oil, vinegar, onion, scallion, oregano, salt, and pepper in medium bowl; let stand for flavors to develop, about 10 minutes. Add dressing to bread and peppers; toss to combine.
