5 steps

Step 1
Place the torn stale bread chunks in a large bowl with the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the bread and vegetable mixture and toss well to combine.
Step 4
Let the salad sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes so the bread absorbs the tomato juices and dressing.
Step 5
Toss again just before serving, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
