Time 3h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices day-old Tuscan-style or hearty bread
10 cherry tomatoes, halved (about 2/3 cup)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 fresh basil leaves
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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.
