TUSCAN BREAD AND TOMATO SALAD

Prep 20 mins
Cooking 10 mins
Serves 4

Rustic and packed with the flavours of Italy in high summer, it’s our Tuscan bread and tomato salad. So good for you, so yummy – this is Mediterranean eating at its best.

- WHAT YOU WILL NEED -

  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • half a loaf of ciabatta bread (day-old is perfect)
  • 800g baby tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 large red onion, finely sliced
  • 8 anchovy fillets, sliced into 1cm chunks
  • 4 Tbsp capers
  • handful of flatleaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped
  • Cape Herb & Spice Veggie Seasoning SPRINKLE
  • Basil or oregano leaves, to garnish (optional)

- METHOD -

Add the garlic to the olive oil and set aside so it can infuse. Cut the ciabatta into large chunks, place bread on a baking sheet and pop it into a pre-heated 160 ˚C oven to toast until golden and crisp – it takes about 10 minutes but keep an eye on it. Tumble the tomatoes onto a large platter, add the bread and the rest of the ingredients. Pour over olive oil and red wine vinegar and sprinkle with our Cape Herb & Spice Sprinkle Veggie Seasoning. Toss to coat, garnish with basil or oregano leaves and serve.
