Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cubed day-old crusty bread
  • 3 large ripe tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 1 small cucumber sliced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil torn
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix the bread cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and basil.
  3. For best flavor, pour some vinegar on the salad, then toss it so the bread can soak up the juices.
  4. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
