I have had this out; on Italian Ciabatta bread. I tried to replicate the recipe at home, it came out good but missing something. Now thanks to you I have a perfect recipe to use on my own.

I made this salad for an open house. I used small dollar rolls in place of the baguette. I also had chicken salad and ham salad sandwiches. These were the first to go. I gave you 5 stars and will make it again
