This is a CHOW recipe. This is wonderful with garden tomatos. I use the garlic bread from Costco. One loaf from the 2 loaf package works great.
Ingredients
- lemon garlic Vinaigrette: shopping list
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 1 1/2 cup EVOO-Use the good stuff shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped shopping list
- 2 teaspoons anchovy paste (just try it) shopping list
- Salad: shopping list
- 9 cups day old country bread, torn into large peices shopping list
- 2 pounds ripe plum tomatos, I used a variety from my garden shopping list
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion such as vidalia or walla walla shopping list
- 2 medium English hot house cucumbers, I seeded garden cucumbers shopping list
- 1 cup packed basil leaves, torn into large peices shopping list
How to make it
- Dressing:
- In a medium bowl slowly whisk the extra virgin olive oil into the lemon juice. After it becomes an emulsion whisk in the remaining dressing ingredients. Set aside.
- Salad:
- Combine half of the Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette with all of the bread, and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
- When bread has marinated, add remaining vinaigrette and all other ingredients, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using clean hands mix together until well incorporated .
- Let salad rest for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and serve at room temparature. It gets better the longer the flavors are allowed to infuse. I left mine for 4 hours and it was great.
