Preheat and prep ingredients
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

Preheat the oven to 400°F and complete the prep: cube the ciabatta, chop the tomatoes and cucumber, slice the red onion, mince the garlic, and chop the basil.

Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers tucked while slicing and chopping.

1 Loaf ciabatta bread
2 pounds tomato
1 Each cucumber
1 Count red onion
2 Count garlic
1 cup basil
2
Toast the ciabatta
Rimmed baking sheet

Spread the ciabatta on the baking sheet and toast until dry and lightly golden, about 10 to 12 minutes, tossing once halfway through.

Use oven mitts when handling the hot baking sheet.

1 Loaf ciabatta bread
3
Make the vinaigrette
Whisk
Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons

In the large bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly glossy.

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Count garlic
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
4
Juice the tomatoes
Large mixing bowl

Add the tomatoes to the vinaigrette and gently toss to release their juices; let sit for 5 minutes so the tomato vinaigrette becomes juicy.

2 pounds tomato
5
Combine the salad
Large mixing bowl

Add the toasted ciabatta, cucumber, red onion, and basil, then toss until the bread is fully coated and begins soaking up the dressing.

Let the toasted ciabatta cool briefly before tossing to avoid steam burns.

1 Loaf ciabatta bread
1 Each cucumber
1 Count red onion
1 cup basil
6
Rest and serve
Large mixing bowl

Let the salad rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing once, until the bread is tender but chewy and the flavors are blended.
