Italian Bread Salad Recipe: How to Make Panzanella
First cut the bread into cubes.
For fresh bread, it is advisable to lightly toast the bread cubes in a pan without fat over medium heat.
But, as I said,
stale bread
is just the right thing to use in salads.
Peel and cut the onion into fine strips.
Peel and finely chop the garlic.
Wash the tomatoes, cucumber and peppers and cut everything into cubes.

Sort the rocket, if necessary cut off thick stalks.
Wash and dry arugula and parsley, chop them both up.
Mix the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper together.
Mix the bread, vegetables, herbs and dressing together and let it
steep for at least an hour
until the bread becomes softer.
Then stir the bread salad again, sprinkle capers over it if you like and serve.
