Caprese Bread Salad

How to make Caprese Bread Salad Recipe - It’s a traditional caprese salad with grilled whole-grain croutons for a kid-friendly touch. Try serving it with simple roasted or grilled chicken.

Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients:
4 ½-inch-thick slices whole grain bread (about 6 ounces total)
1 cup grape tomatoes
6 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese or fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper

Method:
1 Place bread slices on the rack of a charcoal grill over medium-hot coals. Place tomatoes in a disposable foil pan. Place on grill next to bread.

2 Cover and grill for 1 to 2 minutes or until bread is toasted and tomatoes are charred, turning bread once and shaking pan with tomatoes occasionally. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add bread and tomatoes to grill rack. Grill as above.)

3 Cut bread into ½-inch cubes. Slice tomatoes in half. In a large bowl, combine bread, tomatoes, cheese, basil, oil, vinegar, and pepper; toss to coat.
