Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cubed rustic bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or baguette)
  • 3 ripe peaches (sliced into wedges)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (torn)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella balls or sliced prosciutto
  • For the vinaigrette: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Toss cubed bread with olive oil on a baking sheet and toast for 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
  2. While the bread cools, prepare the produce: slice peaches into wedges and chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine toasted bread with peaches and vegetables. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently.
  5. Let the salad rest for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
