INGREDIENTS
1. 8 slices day old
Tuscan-style or hearty bread
2. 10 cherry
tomatoes, halved (about 2/3 cup)
3. 1 red onion,
thinly sliced
4. 1/2 cup extra-virgin
olive oil
5. 3 tablespoons red
wine vinegar
6. 4 fresh basil leaves
7. Salt
8. Freshly ground
black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Submerge the slices of day-old
Tuscan-style bread in a bowl of water.
Use your hands to squeeze out all the
water that the bread has absorbed. Break up the bread into small pieces and put
into a large bowl.
Squeeze the cherry tomato juices into a
small bowl before adding the tomato halves to the bread mixture.
Add the red onion, olive oil, and red wine
vinegar to the bowl.
Tear up the basil leaves and toss into
the salad mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well.
Let the salad rest in the refrigerator
for a few hours for all the flavors to come together.
