Diets I always resort to this Tuscan classic when I have bread gone stale. The juiciness of the tomatoes and the moistness of the dressing revive the old pieces of bread, which in turn, soak in all the liquids, turning into a flavor sponge that releases its goodness at every bite.
2Persian cucumbers, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
kernels from 2 ears of corn, cooked
2 small shallots, finally chopped
2 tablespoons Tuscanini Capers or caper berries, rinsed and chopped, optional
1/2 cup fresh, cleaned mint, loosely packed
2 limes
6 cups of stale bread, cubed
1/2 cup Gefen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
In a large bowl, combine cucumber slices, corn kernels, shallots, and capers, if using. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Tear mint leaves with your fingers and add them into the bowl.
Zest the limes with a microplane into the salad bowl. Cut them in half and squeeze the juice in, too.
Add cubed bread and olive oil. Mix gently, until everything is incorporated. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve and enjoy!
