This fabulous salad made with summer vegetables is great paired with any grilled meat. My family has been making this for years. Ingredients:
2 red onions, sliced 1/2 inch thick |
8 plum (roma) tomatoes, cored |
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
4 cups cubed italian bread |
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/2 inch slices |
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
2. Brush the onion slices and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and set aside. Drizzle another 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cubed bread in a large bowl. Sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper; toss well. Skewer the bread cubes with metal skewers.
3. Grill bread on preheated grill until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Grill onions and tomatoes until soft, about 5 minutes.
4. Chop the roasted onions and tomatoes into large pieces, and place into a large bowl along with the toasted bread, cucumber, and basil. Whisk the vinegar together with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to make a dressing. Pour over the salad, and toss to coat.
