Ingredients
red wine vinaigrette
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp honey
kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
grilled panzanella salad
1 lb loaf sourdough bread
2 tbsp olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved lengthwise
3 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
1 English hothouse cucumber, sliced into half moons
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
1/4 cup fresh mint, torn
8 oz burrata cheese
Instructions
In a glass measuring cup or jar, add vinegar, mustard, honey, 1/2 tsp kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk in olive oil, taste, and add more salt or pepper if needed. Set aside.
Preheat grill to medium high. Meanwhile, use a serrated knife to remove crust from the loaf of bread and cut into 1-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of bread with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill the bread for about 1 minute on each side, or until browned and charred in spots. Transfer to a plate, rub with garlic halves, and let cool.
Slice grilled bread into 1-inch thick strips then tear into bite sized pieces. Place croutons in a large bowl along with peaches, cucumber, olives, basil and mint. Toss with two-thirds of dressing, taste, and add more dressing or seasoning if needed.
Transfer to a large serving platter. Tear the burrata into bite sized pieces and scatter over salad. Enjoy!
