Winter bread salad with fennel, pear and gorgonzola

Bread

I'm always happy to find myself with a hunk of fossilized baguette during the summer, when juicy tomatoes are everywhere, but I wanted a receptacle for stale bread during the winter months. Most recipes I found mixed the bread with roasted root vegetables, but I wanted something that just required chopping, mixing and eating. Here, the bread is softened by a soak in vinegar and olive oil, but remains a toothsome counter to hunks of lovely pear and crunchy fennel. Enjoy.
