Tuscan Panzanella

Preparation Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Toss the bread cubes with a little olive oil and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
3. In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread, sliced onion, diced tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
5. Pour the dressing over the bread mixture and toss to combine.
6. Sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the top and toss again to combine.
7. Let the salad sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Serve the Tuscan Panzanella at room temperature.
