Warm salad of kale with roasted peppers, goat cheese and pain de campagne

I always like to clean my salad plate by wiping a piece of bread on the left over dressing. A piece of bread soaked in balsamic vinegar and olive oil is simply delicious no? That's is what inspired me for this salad.

I used a piece of pain de campagne (I don't know what it is in english..farmer's bread, country bread?) that I had for 2-3 days. It was starting to get a bit hard, that's mainly the reason why I decided to include it in this dish.

Perfect for recycling a piece of bread that's getting a bit tough!!
