Grilled bread and marinated tomato salad

Delight your taste buds with this flavorful grilled bread and marinated tomato salad. A perfect combination of fresh ingredients with a hint of smoky char to elevate your culinary experience.

Ingredients:

• 1 garlic clove, smashed
• Salt
• 910g heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 loaf country bread (340g), sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 2 bunches arugula (170g each), stems discarded
• 140g ricotta salata, crumbled (1 1/4 cups)

Instructions:

1. Start by crushing a garlic clove with a bit of salt on a cutting board using the flat side of a chef's knife until it forms a paste; then place it into a large bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, vinegar, 3/4 cup of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours.
2. Prepare the grill. Coat the bread with olive oil and grill on high heat until it becomes crisp and develops a light charred texture, for about 1 minute per side. Let it cool down a bit, then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
3. Combine the bread and arugula with the tomato mixture, and add the ricotta salata. Toss everything together well and serve immediately.
