Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Cut rustic bread into bite-sized cubes, drizzle olive oil over cubes, and spread them on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Slice ripe peaches into wedges, halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice cucumber and red onion, and tear fresh basil leaves.
  4. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread, sliced peaches, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and basil. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently.
  6. Let the salad sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Top with fresh mozzarella balls or prosciutto if desired, then serve immediately.
