When I saw the picture of this salad, I knew that I had to make it, and once I tasted it, I knew I had to post it. This is a fabulous salad with a delicious flavour. Makes a great lunch! Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
6 slices italian bread (1 inch thick) |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
4 large roma tomatoes, cut into 3/4 inch pieces |
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and trimmed |
8 ounces fontina cheese, cut into 3/4 inch cubes |
4 green onions, thinly sliced |
6 -8 basil leaves, julienned |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine olive oil and garlic in a bowl and mix well. Reserve half the olive oil mixture. Brush both sides of the bread slices with the remaining olive oil mixture. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil for 2 minutes perside or until brown. Cut each slice into 1 inch cubes.
2. Whisk the reserved olive oil mixture and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Add the bread cubes, tomatoes, artichokes, cheese, green onions and basil and mix gently. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
