Ingredients
- 400 400 gr of sliced stale Tuscan bread
- 2 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 3 3 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
- 15 15 basil leaves
- 1 1 cucumber
- 1 1 large red onion
- extra virgin olive oil as needed
- fine salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Take the sliced, stale bread, preferably Tuscan bread or a crusty bread without salt, and submerge it in a bowl with water. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water, and wait for the bread to soften.
- Remove the bread slices one at a time and squeeze them to remove the water and then crumble each piece into a clean, large bowl. Repeat until all the bread has been squeezed and is crumbled in the bowl.
- Cut the ripe tomatoes into small pieces, add them to the bowl and mix well. The bread should turn a light red color.
- Finely chop the cucumber, onion and basil and add it to the bread.
- Season the dish with some salt, a dash of ground black pepper and a drizzling of extra virgin olive oil and mix together well until the consistency is uniform.
- Cover and leave the salad in a cool place or the fridge for a few hours so that the flavors can meld together. Now it's ready to enjoy!
