Ingredients

1/4 loaf
bread, day-old, high-quality (we used whole wheat sourdough)
3
garlic cloves (2 minced, 1 set aside)
3
tomatoes, large, diced
1/2 cup
fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons
Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1/2 teaspoon
black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
zest
1/2 lemon
pinch
salt
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the bread into inch-wide pieces. Put bread slices directly on the oven rack to toast until dry, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. While the bread is still warm, rub all over with the whole garlic clove. Chop the bread into 1"-inch cubes.
  2. Toss the bread with the remaining ingredients and garlic. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. If you’re keeping it for later, refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
  3. Handy Hint: Diced fresh tomatoes will release a lot of juice, especially as the salad sits, so toss the salad occasionally to keep the flavors even. It will only make the salad more delicious!
