Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Cut the stale Italian bread into bite-sized cubes and place them into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these vegetables to the bowl with the bread.

  3. 3

    Dress the Salad

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the bread and vegetable mixture.

  4. 4

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss all the ingredients together until the bread is well coated with the dressing and the vegetables are evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Add Basil

    Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. Toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Let it Rest

    Allow the salad to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
