Panzanella Caprese With Garlicky Croutons

Step 1

Chop the tomatoes and mix with the salt and pepper – leave for 10-15 minutes to release their juices.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, and place in the garlic bread slices. Toast each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and cut into chunks.

Step 3

Mix the dressing ingredients together in a small jug.

Step 4

Place the garlic bread chunks in a serving bowl or on a large plate. Mix in the tomatoes – juices as well. Drizzle on half of the dressing, and toss to ensure the garlic bread mixes with the dressing. Leave for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop and for the bread to soak up the liquid.

Step 5

Top with the torn mozzarella and basil and serve with the remaining dressing.
