Warm Artichoke and Bread Salad with Marinated Crescenza

When fresh artichokes are in season, try this inventive bread salad from Chef Traci Des Jardins. The dish includes Crescenza cheese, a soft cow’s milk cheese that has a creamy texture and mild, delicate flavor. Originating in Italy, the cheese is now made by U.S. producers as well.
