Felly'S Favorite Panzanella With Burrata
- Salad
- 5 thick slices of stale baguette, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced very thin
- 1.5 pounds best quality tomatoes, a variety is good. I usually use a mix of roma, heirloom, and grape, chopped into large chunks
- 2 cucumbers, peeled, sliced in half lengthwise, seeds scooped out with spoon, and sliced into half moons
- 1 large handful of herbs, mix of basil, parsley, chives, mint, and tarragon or whatever you have handy, chopped
- salt
- 1 ball burrata
- Dressing
- 1 tablespoon whole grain dijon
- 1 tablespoon capers, rough chop
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 big pinches of salt
- 1 big pinch pepper
- Heat the olive oil over medium low heat with the crushed garlic clove and add the bread cubes. Sprinkle with a little salt and saute until golden. You want them nice and toasty and golden and very hard. Once done, scrap into a large bowl and discard the garlic.
- Add the red onions, tomato, cucumbers, and herbs.
- Add the dressing (recipe below), starting with 1/4 cup. Toss. Add more dressing by the tablespoon until adequately dressed. I usually only need to add one or more spoonfuls after the 1/4 cup. Season to taste with salt.
- Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread cubes to drink up the dressing and so the flavors have a chance to meld.
- Plate each salad. Gently tear or cut the burrata into large chunks and top each salad with a few chunks.
- Grab a seat on your patio and dig in!
- Place all the ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously.
