This Tuscan inspired recipe is a beautiful mix of fresh tomatoes, basil, bread and onions dressed with a simple olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing. I love adding olives and roasted capsicum to this traditional recipe. The addition of pan fried okra and lemon gives the dish an interesting textural twist. The salad is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and bread. If you only have fresh bread, just leave the bread uncovered on a plate to dry for an hour or or so or dry it out a little on low heat in the oven.
