Servings: 8
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 loaf Ciabatta Bread
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 pounds tomatoes cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 English cucumber thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Cut the Ciabatta bread into 1 inch cubes. Arrange on a large baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the bread, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Bake bread for about 20 minutes, stirring half way. You want the bread to be toasted and crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- To prepare the dressing add the ingredients to a small jar with a tight fitting lid and shake until well combined, or whisk in a small bowl until the vinegar and oil come together.
- In a large bowl toss together toasted bread, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and basil. Add dressing and toss until well coated. Start with about half of the dressing and add more to taste.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Only dress as much salad as you think you will eat. It does not keep once it has been tossed with the dressing.
