For the Filling:

• 1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 2 small zucchini, sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1/2 red pepper, diced
• 2/3 c. sliced black olives
• 2/3 c. crumbled feta cheese
• 2 T. red wine vinegar
• 2 T. olive oil

• 1 large loaf French bread

To prepare the filling, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. Reserve 2/3 of the filling for the other recipes in this article.

Using a sharp knife, remove the top of the French bread loaf. Using your fingers, hollow out almost all of the bread from within the loaf. Set the hollowed-out loaf on a large piece of heavy aluminum foil. Spoon the filling into the loaf and press the top of the loaf over the filling. Wrap the foil around the loaf and bake for 45 minutes or until the filling is heated through. Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing into individual servings
