Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and spread on a baking sheet. Toast at 375°F for 10 minutes until crisp and golden.

  2. Step 2

    Cut tomatoes into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.

  3. Step 3

    Mince garlic and whisk with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and black pepper in a small bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Add toasted bread to the tomatoes and pour the dressing over. Toss well to coat.

  5. Step 5

    Let the salad sit for 15 minutes so the bread absorbs the juices. Tear basil leaves and toss in just before serving.

  6. Step 6

    Serve at room temperature, adjusting salt or vinegar to taste.
