Instructions

Making the dressing

  1. Place all the ingredients for the dressing (except for the oil and seasoning) in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Next, whisk while drizzling in the oil to create an emulsified dressing. I add between ⅓ cup - ½ cup oil. Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.

Assembling the salad

  1. Once all the ingredients are prepared, and the tomatoes have been salted for at least 15 minutes, you can make the salad.
  2. Add the tomatoes into the large bowl with the bread, followed by the cucumbers, shallots, capers and basil. Toss to combine.
  3. Next drizzle the dressing over the bread, and toss to combine.
  4. Cover the salad and let it rest for about 20 - 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the dressing and all the other flavors to be absorbed by the bread. To make sure the bread is absorbing the flavor equally, toss the salad a few times during this 20 - 30 minute wait.

To serve

  1. Serve with some crumbled feta or shaved parmesan on top, or more freshly sliced basil leaves.
