Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cut the bread into larger cubes and fry in olive oil with sliced ​​garlic until golden yellow. Add the garlic later so it doesn’t become too dark and bitter. Slice or finely chop the spring onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, fennel, celery, and onion (only halve cocktail tomatoes). Make a salad dressing with mustard, pepper, salt, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Mix the salad dressing with the vegetables. Just before serving, drizzle the bread cubes with a little balsamic vinegar and add them to the salad to keep them crispy. Sprinkle with pecorino shavings. If you like, you can also add leaf lettuce, such as romaine lettuce; lettuce is less suitable as it wilts too easily.
