Tomato and Bread Salad

What you need

  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 100g sourdough, crusts left on, sliced 2cm thick, lightly toasted, then cut into 4cm chunks
  • 500g ripe tomatoes, cut into 4cm chunks
  • Zest and juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp baby capers
  • 5g parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 5g basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 100g crumbed feta
  • Salt to taste

How it’s done

Add garlic, oil, and a pinch of salt to a small pan over low heat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens when mashed with the back of a spoon.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the tasted sourdough chunks to the hot oil. Toss the bread around until well coated, then transfer the bread to a large bowl.

Mix together the tomatoes, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, parsley, basil, feta and chilli flakes. Add garlic oil once cooled. This may sit for a few hours before serving.

Right before serving, add the bread to the tomato mixture.
