Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Hearty Bread 1" cubed (We used French Style Country)
  • 2 cups Honey Crisp Apple cubed
  • 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • ½ Red Onion sliced
  • 2 Mini Cucumbers diced
  • ½ Cup Mint Leaves torn
  • 4 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. Sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Burrata Cheese large or small balls

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F
  • Cube the Bread into 1" pieces, lay them on the baking sheet, and lightly drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper. Toss the pieces so they are all covered evenly.
  • When the oven reached 400 F, put the baking sheet with the bread pieces in the oven for 12-15 minutes to toast, until lightly golden. Then remove and allow them to cool.
  • Quarter the Cherry Tomatoes, and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, along with Red Wine Vinegar, Salt and Black Pepper. Stir to combine, and allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Chop all the other ingredients, and add to the large mixing bowl with the tomatoes after 10 minutes have passed. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving plate/bowl, and top with Burrata and Mint.
  • Enjoy as a side or the main dish!

Notes

  • Bread Selection: Use day-old or slightly stale bread for the best texture. Fresh bread can become too soggy.
  • Apple Choice: Honey Crisp apples are ideal for their sweetness and crunch, but you can substitute with other crisp apples if needed.
  • Advance Preparation: You can toast the bread cubes and prepare the vegetables and apples ahead of time, but assemble the salad just before serving to keep the bread from getting too soggy.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day. The bread may become softer over time, but the flavors will still be delicious.
