Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Burrata Cheese (about 100 g or 4 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups Stale or Toasted Bread (about 100g or 4 oz, cubed)
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup Cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Bell Pepper, medium, diced
  • a handful Arugula
  • 2-3 slices Prosciutto (torn into pieces, optional)

Balsamic Dressing:

  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup
  • To taste Salt and Pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of garlic paste or garlic powder

Instructions

  • Prepare the Bread: Start by toasting your bread cubes lightly in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Let them cool while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

  • Mix the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper. Toss in the arugula.

  • Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the aged balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until well combined. If you like a touch of garlic, add a 1/2 teaspoon of roasted garlic paste or garlic powder.

  • Assemble the Salad: Add the toasted bread cubes to the vegetable mixture. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together. Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes so the bread cubes can absorb all the delicious flavors.

  • Add Burrata and Prosciutto: Tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and scatter it over the salad. Then, add the torn prosciutto slices, if using.
