1: Preheat oven to 350°F.
2: Tear bread into bite-sized pieces. Spread evenly onto a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil. Mix and bake for 7-12 minutes until bread has dried out, but not yet toasted.
3: Remove, and let cool completely.
4: For the dressing, add garlic, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and herbs into a measuring cup. Whisk and slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Add salt and pepper. Taste for seasonings and adjust as needed.
5: Chop up tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. Add to a large bowl and pour the marinade on top. This can marinate until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
6: When ready to assemble, add the bread on top of the tomato mixture. Toss well. Top with fresh basil and enjoy.
