Ingredients

6 Cups day old Italian bread, torn into bite-size pieces
1/3 Cup olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
3 Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 Cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 Medium ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
3/4 Cup red onion, sliced
10 Basil leaves, shredded
1/2 Cup pitted & halved green olives
1 Cup fresh mozzarella, cut into bite-size pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400�F.
In a large bowl, toss bread with 1/3 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Lay bread on a baking sheet, and toast in the preheated oven until golden, about 5 to 10 minutes; allow to cool slightly.
While the bread is in the oven, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Gently toss together the bread, tomatoes, onion, basil, olives, and mozzarella cheese. Toss with the vinaigrette and let stand for 20 minutes before serving.
