Ingredients:
- 1 lb sourdough bread, day-old and cubed
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 lbs Heirloom tomatoes, mixed colors, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 medium English cucumber, halved and sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn by hand
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the sourdough cubes with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 8–12 minutes, tossing once, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly crisp. Remove and let cool completely.
- Place the chopped Heirloom tomatoes in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1 tsp of kosher salt. Toss gently and let sit for 15–20 minutes to allow the natural juices to release.
- In a small jar, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, pepper, and oregano. Shake vigorously until the mixture is emulsified and opaque.
- To the bowl of tomatoes and their juices, add the sliced cucumber, red onion, and toasted bread. Pour the vinaigrette over the mixture and toss gently to integrate.
