Place the bread in a large
bowl and add enough
water just to cover.
Soak the bread in the
water for 10 minutes.
Squeeze the bread between your
hands to remove the water. Then
rub with your palms, to form
coarse crumbs.
Collect the crumbs (make sure
they are dry) and place them into
a large salad bowl. Add the toma-
toes, onions, and cucumbers to
the breadcrumbs. Season with
snips of the basil sprig, salt, and
a little olive oil to coat. Toss the
salad carefully with your hands.
Place in the refrigerator to chill
until needed. At the last moment
add the vinegar and a little more
oil for taste and texture.
Yield: 4 servings.
