Fresh mozzarella and basil elevate the classic Italian bread salad to something even more special. Quite possibly the perfect summer salad.

Steps:
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the olive oil to a large saute pan, and warm over medium heat.
- Keeping the heat on medium, add the bread cubes and the salt, and toss.
- Stir frequently for about 10 minutes, until the cubes are well toasted. Whenever the pan dries out, add a little more olive oil, about a tablespoon at a time.
- Remove bread cubes from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Seed and dice the tomatoes and add to a large bowl. I keep the tomato chunks large - about the same size as the bread cubes.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl.
- Give the basil a couple of rough chops, and throw it in.
- Dice the mozzarella and add that to the bowl, too.
- Add the cooled bread cubes.
- Make the viniagrette in a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the bread, veggies, basil, and cheese, and toss gently until well incorporated.
- Let sit for just a few minutes so the bread can soak in just a little of the vinaigrette.
- Add a little more salt and fresh ground pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
