Instructions
- Soak the onion in a bowl with water and a tablespoon of white wine vinegar for 1 hour
- Take the slices of bread and remove the crust with a knife.
- Moisten the bread by pouring a solution of water and vinegar, a tablespoon at a time.
- Once the bread is softened, squeeze it, tear it roughly with your hands and place it in a large salad bowl.
- Drain the red onion from the soaking water and vinegar solution and add them to the bread.
- Add the tomatoes, cucumber, and the basil leaves.
- Gently mix all the ingredients with a spoon, season with extra virgin olive oil, then add salt and pepper.
- Stir again, taste and add more vinegar if necessary.
Notes
- It is better to put the panzanella in the refrigerator for at least an hour, so the bread has time to take in all the flavors from the fresh ingredients.
