Tuscan bread and tomato salad

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the bread into large cubes. If it is not very dry, toast it in a 180°C oven for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp on the outside.

2. 2

   Cut the tomatoes into chunks, slice the cucumber into half-moons, and thinly slice the red onion.

3. 3

   Whisk the vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

4. 4

   Add the tomatoes and let them sit for 5 minutes so they release some of their juices.

5. 5

   Add the bread, cucumber, onion, and half the torn basil. Toss well so the bread absorbs the dressing without falling apart completely.

6. 6

   Let stand for 10 minutes, then adjust the seasoning and serve with the remaining basil.
