This salad originated in Tuscany as a tasty way to use the last scraps of stale bread. In this updated version, day-old bread is toasted -- rather than being soaked in water -- and added to roughly chopped tomatoes, other vegetables, olive oil, and vinegar.

Steps:
- Place the garlic on a cutting board; hit it with the side of a large knife to break it open a bit. Place tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a large nonreactive bowl. Drizzle the oil and vinegar over the vegetable mixture; season with salt and pepper. Toss; let stand, covered, in a cool place, about 1 hour or more.
- Place the bread on a hot grill or under a heated broiler; toast until both sides are slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, rub lightly with garlic if desired; tear bread into bite-size chunks. When ready to serve, add the cucumbers, basil, and bread to the tomatoes.
- Toss to coat bread thoroughly with the marinating liquid. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and remove the garlic clove.
