I don’t know about you, but when I have a salad as a main dish, particularly one as light as my new favorite with Mayfair salad dressing, I am going to need something on the side. I recently found a recipe for cheesy herbed garlic bread that sounded good, so I had to try it. I’m not entirely sure why the word “herbed” makes its way into the name because the only thing herb-y about it is the parsley or basil that you sprinkle on top, and that is optional. I will say that this bread is truly delicious! It is cheesy and garlicky and loaded with flavor. The recipe calls for it to be spread on a split ciabatta loaf. I bought ciabatta rolls from Aldi (they are amazingly good), and used them. This is a keeper!
