An easy salad recipe which is a wonderful way to use up stale bread, and expresses the Tuscan mentality of simplicity with the use of fresh, ripe, ingredients. There are many variations to this salad, so experiment on your own. Read more Anchovies are often added, as are red peppers and capers. You could also add 1 can of drained oil packed tuna to make this recipe into a complete lunch. See less
Ingredients
- 8 oz. Stale Italian bread, Heavy Crusts Removed shopping list
- 3 Medium Ripe tomatoes, Chopped shopping list
- 4 scallions, Chopped shopping list
- 1 Small cucumber shopping list

- 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar shopping list
- 3 cloves of garlic, Chopped shopping list

How to make it
- You must use coarse textured good quality bread, as most bread from the grocery store will become gummy. The Tuscan saltless bread is ideal for this recipe, and holds up really well
- Break the bread into pieces, and soak briefly in water until moistened. Carefully squeeze dry. Place the bread in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.

One of my all time favorite salads (ever) and I love all of your addition suggestions as well. Add a nice glass of wine (or two) and it sounds like heaven to me. Thanks so much, Dino and you get a high 5 from me. ~Vickie
