- 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, torn or coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil, or to taste

Soak bread in cold water to cover 10 minutes. Working with a handful at a time, squeeze as much water as possible from bread and coarsely crumble into a serving bowl (you should have about 4 cups).

Gently toss with tomatoes, onion, and basil, then drizzle with oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
