A delightful twist on the classic Panzanella, this Mediterranean Bread Salad combines fresh vegetables, toasted bread, and a tangy dressing for a refreshing and satisfying dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even toasting of the bread.
Tear the bread loaf into bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet.
Use a rustic bread for better texture.
Toast the bread in the oven for about 8 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
Keep an eye on the bread to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Chop the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and basil, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Use fresh, ripe vegetables for the best flavor.
Add the toasted bread and mozzarella cheese to the bowl with the vegetables.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the bread.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the salad garnished with extra basil leaves.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
