Panzanella

When your left over bread is hard as rock, you can still turn it into a salad. Quarter ripe tomatoes and spoon out the seeds. Puree the seeds and inner part of the tomatoes with one or two cloves of garlic. Use the puree to make a dressing with red wine vinegar, olive oil, black peper and salt.

Cut the tomatoes in cubes or strips and mix everything together. You can add red onion, thinly cut. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Throw in fresh basil leaves and if you have left over black olives, you can also throw them in.
