First whisk together your dressing: Zest half of your lemon then squeeze out all its juice. Combine zest, juice, and remanining ingredients in a mason jar and shake well. Once to mix then again before serving.
Heat your oven or toaster oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet and top with torn pieces of ciabatta bread. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil, toss to coat, and arrange in an even layer. Toast until lightly browned but still soft on the inside, approx. 5-7 minutes.
For the salad, halve your cherry tomatoes, peel and thinly slice the shallow, and chop your cucumber.
Combine veggies with cubed mozzarella (feel free to use the optional mozzarella marinade above if you'd like!) and toasted ciabatta. Add as much basil as your heart desires. Give your lemony dressing one final shake and pour over salad. Toss to combine and garnish with extra basil and lemon wedges.

Notes
No ciabatta? No problem! Feel free to use your favorite bread. Crusty baguettes or French loaves work awesome here, as does fluffy Italian bread or Focaccia. Whisk together optional mozz marinade after making your dressing. You can even add a few drops of dressing to the mozzarella for extra flavor.
