This rustic summer salad breathes new life into leftover bread and elevates the vibrant flavors of juicy tomatoes, refreshing cucumbers, and sweet onions. Buon appetito!

Ingredients:
Bread: fresh or stale! I used Ciabatta
3 or 4 ripe tomatoes
1/2 to 1 sweet onion such as Vidalia
1 large or 2 small cucumbers
1/4 cup or more of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt to taste
Basil to garnish

Notes: Personally, I omit vinegar as tomatoes are already rather acidic. You may add vinegar if you would like it to be tangier.
