list of ingredients :

1/2 pound day old chewy farm style bread, cubed
Water, to cover
4 small vine ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, torn or shredded
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cooking Recipe:

Place bread in a medium mixing bowl and cover with water. Soak bread 3 to 5 minutes. In small batches, remove bread in handfuls from the water (if your tap water is hard, that is with a lot of minerals, you may want to use bottled water to maintain consistency and taste) and wring it out with out mashing or tearing bread. you (or they) do not want wet bread, so wring it carefully.

Combine tomatoes with onions and basil in a second bowl and dress with vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add bread to tomato salad (makes a great side dish) and combine. Adjust seasonings and serve.
