Caprese Panzanella Salad

Step 1

Make the Basil Chive Vinaigrette: To a small food processor or blender, add basil, chives, vinegar, garlic, ¼ cup olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Process until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Toast the bread cubes: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Add bread cubes and 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss well to coat the bread. Bake for 10-12 mins until the bread becomes golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Assemble the salad: To the large mixing bowl, add tomatoes, mozzarella, and bread cubes. Toss to combine. Add vinaigrette and a pinch of flaky salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well to completely coat. Allow salad to sit about 30 mins before serving. Enjoy!
