Bruschetta Salad

 

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 small baguette
1 large clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup olive oil plus additional for brushing on bread
6 medium-to-large tomatoes, cut into large chunks
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Fresh basil sprigs, to garnish

TO PREPARE:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Split baguette in half lengthwise. Rub 1 side with crushed garlic and brush liberally with olive oil. Cut bread in half again lengthwise and then cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Place pieces on a baking sheet, crust-side down. Bake until dark golden brown (approximately 45 to 60 minutes). Set aside.

Place tomatoes in a bowl. Add onion and basil. In a separate bowl, whisk together vinegar and 1/2 cup oil. Pour over salad and toss. Add reserved croutons just before serving. Serve at room temperature or well chilled, garnished with fresh basil sprigs.
