This wonderful, simple, and delicious salad from Tuscany works especially well with day-old, or even grilled bread. Although it’s traditionally made with Italian bread, I prefer it with a crusty French baguette or a loaf of stale rosemary bread. Use fresh herbs if possible and ripe juicy tomatoes. If ripe tomatoes are unavailable, use canned Italian tomatoes, drained, or cherry tomatoes, halved. Ingredients and amounts can vary greatly, so use your imagination.
