Ingredients
For the Croutons
- 1/2 c. butter divided, unsalted
- 1 bread cut into bite-sized pieces, loaf, crusty
For the Vinaigrette
- 1/4 tsp. ground mustard
- 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper freshly ground
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp. oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp. salt sea salt
For the Salad
- 1 cup basil torn into pieces, leaves
- 2 pounds tomato halved, cocktail
- 1 lb. mozzarella cheese in balls or cut into bite sized pieces
Instructions
For the Croutons
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add ¼ cup of the butter and cook until it foams, turns clear, and is brown in color. Add half of the bread pieces and toss with the browned butter. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread pieces.
- Arrange the bread on the baking sheet in a single layer, then bake for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through. Let cool.
For the Vinaigrette
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dry mustard, vinegar, olive oil, pepper, garlic, and dried oregano.
For the Salad
- Combine the tomatoes and mozzarella in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss to coat. Once the bread has cooled, fold the croutons into the salad mixture. Let sit for 15 minutes so the croutons can absorb some of the dressing. Fold in the fresh basil leaves immediately before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store the Caprese Panzanella Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay fresh for up to 2 days. However, it’s best enjoyed the day it’s made, as the bread will soften over time.
