Ingredients
- 3 cups cubed crusty bread
- ¼ cup olive oil, as needed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 English cucumber – peeled, seeded, and sliced
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 small yellow tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- ¾ cup pitted kalamata olives
- ¼ cup capers, drained
- ¾ cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Toss bread, 1/4 cup olive oil, and garlic in a bowl until coated. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer mixture to a baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 15 minutes, stirring and flipping bread cubes about halfway through. Allow bread to cool.
Step 4
Fill a large bowl with iced water; set aside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; cook asparagus in boiling water until bright green and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to iced water to cool. Drain and dry on a clean towel. Cut asparagus into thirds.
Step 5
Mix asparagus, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, red onion, olives, capers, mozzarella balls, and bread cubes in a large bowl. Whisk red wine vinegar and 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour vinegar dressing over bread mixture; toss to combine. Allow bread salad to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
