Just to be clear, the bread needs to be torn into bite-sized chunks after it is toasted. I also cut the onion into small pieces.
Oh, and you'll probably want to tear up the basil leaves, too.
This was great, I adjusted the vinegar amount down as mentioned in a couple other comments. It was a quite quick to make and a great use of abundant garden tomatoes!
I added corn freshly cut of the cob for a truly perfect simmer dinner.
This recipe is fine, but the quarter cup of vinegar is too much. Keep it less than the volume of olive oil.
Agreed. I read your comment after I had made it. I will switch the ratios next time I make this, which will be soon.
