Step by step
Instructions
The biggest shortcut is to use an older ciabatta or a light sourdough bread that’s no longer soft. Salt the tomatoes first and while they rest, chop the remaining ingredients. If you want to make the salad ahead, chop the vegetables and mix the dressing separately; add the bread and basil only 10–15 minutes before serving.

Variants and alternatives
For a heartier salad, add 150 g of drained white beans or chickpeas. Replace part of the tomatoes with colorful cherry tomatoes for a sweeter, juicier salad. Add 1 tablespoon of capers or a few chopped black olives to the dressing. If you like a stronger flavor, rub the halved bread with garlic before tearing it.
