3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
12 teaspoon salt
18 teaspoon pepper

Heat gas grill on low or charcoal grill until coals are ash white.

STEP 4
Place all remaining ingredients in serving bowl; mix well. Add bread pieces; toss lightly.
Traditionally, Italian bread salad is made with stale bread. After the salad is tossed it stands for a while so the bread can soak up the juices. Let this salad stand 10-15 minutes before serving if soft, juicy croutons are desired.
Celebrate fresh tomatoes with recipes that show off their bright, full flavor. Tomatoes pair so well with basil, bacon and, of course, cheese.
