Serves: 4 servings

Preparation

 

 

In a large bowl, soak bread in about 3 cups of water for about 5-10 minutes. Wring pieces out with a kitchen towel or squeeze out the excess water with your hands.

 

 

In another large bowl, mix together the veggies and herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Add the vinegar and drizzle with the EVOO. Add the bread into the salad bowl and give it a toss to combine.
