Panzanella

Preparation

Step 1


Add the stale bread to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let the bread soak for 45 minutes.


Step 2


Remove the bread from the water and discard the water. With your hands squeeze it dry, removing the excess water, while breaking into big crumbs.


Step 3


In a serving bowl, add the bread, tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, fresh basil, salt, and pepper and mix well.


Step 4


Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.


Step 5


Add the vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil when, fork at hand, you are ready to attack your dish, not 1 minute before then!
