- Salt and pepper
- 4 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 English cucumber, quartered lengthwise and chopped
- 4 ounces deli-sliced salami, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Directions
- In a large colander over a bowl or the sink, drizzle 1/2 cup water over the toasted bread to saturate.

Transfer to a large serving bowl and drizzle with 1/2 cup olive oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
