Description

Fresh, delicious, summer-ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and roasted red onions mixed in with crispy bread that is just beginning to soak in a bit of homemade vinaigrette dressing.

Ingredients

  • Onions
  • 1 whole Red Onion
  • ¾ cups Olive Oil, Divided
  • _____
  • Croutons
  • ½ loaves French Bread Cubed In 1 Inch Pieces
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • _____
  • SALAD:
  • 4 whole Medium Ripe Tomatoes
  • 1 whole Cucumber Chopped & Seeds Removed
  • ½ whole Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1-½ cup Fresh Mozzarella Cube In 1 Inch Pieces
  • 3 Tablespoons Chiffonade Of Fresh Basil
  • _____
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1 dash Pepper

Preparation

For Roasted Red Onions:
Toss onions with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread onions on sheet pan and roast in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Turn onions over and roast for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until onions are lightly browned on the outside and soft and creamy inside. Cool.

When onions are cool, discard outer skin and cut off roots, allowing onion sections to fall apart into individual “petals”. Combine cooked onion with any residual cooking juices in a bowl and set aside.

For Toasting Croutons: line baking sheet with foil and spread bread cubes in single layer. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake at 350º for 20 minutes or until bread is golden brown and crunchy like croutons.

Dressing Instructions: Put all in bowl and whisk until well-blended.

To assemble salad – Put all ingredients in large bowl. Pour dressing over. Allow to marry for 15-30 minutes. Dressing should soak into croutons a bit.

I made this yesterday and it was SO good – perfect for a hot summer day. Don’t worry if you think there’s not enough dressing – the roasted onions and oil make up the difference and there was the perfect amount!
