Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups country bread, cubed
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus 3 tablespoons
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 small shallot, minced
1 garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
¼ cup sherry vinegar
2 cups corn kernals
4 medium heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
½ lb fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into pieces
1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
Add the bread cubes to a medium bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
Spread the bread cubes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the shallot, garlic, mustard, vinegar, remaining teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Slowly drizzle in ¼ cup olive oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the corn and cook, stirring, until charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
Transfer the corn to a large bowl and add the toasted bread cubes, tomatoes, mozzarella, and dressing. Toss well. Add the basil and toss again to incorporate.
Enjoy!
