Ingredients

  • 2 cups bread cubes, bite size
  • (it's best to use a heartier rustic loaf, or else stale bread you want to use up! That's what the Italians do, anyway. :) )
  • 2-3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2-3 large heirloom or Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, diced
  • 4-6 tbsp chopped basil
  • Salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar to taste
  • OPTIONAL (but great to add if available):
  • 1/2 avocado and/or cucumber

Method

  • Sautee bread cubes in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over med-low heat with 2-3 tbsp olive oil until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Toss tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and sauteed bread cubes in a large salad bowl and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy!
