PANZANELLA
Save this classic Tuscan bread and tomato salad, flavored with basil, for summer's depths, when juicy tomatoes brim with flavor. Nice, firm beefsteaks are best here; save the highly perfumed, softer-fleshed tomatoes for soups and sauces.

Steps:
- Cut the crusts off the bread, and cut the bread into chunks. Place in a bowl and cover with water. Leave for 15 minutes. Then drain, and squeeze the bread dry between your hands. Tear the bread into rough chunks, and place in a large salad bowl. You should have at least 2 cups of torn bread pieces.
- Add thinly sliced onion to the bread and mix well. Cut the tomatoes into large bite-size chunks and add to the bowl. Chop the basil, add it, and then mix the contents of the bowl well.
- In a separate small bowl, place the salt. Mash the clove of garlic with a knife blade, chop it roughly and add to the salt. Using the back of a spoon, crush the garlic in the salt to form a smooth paste. Add oil and vinegar and mix well.
- Add the dressing to the salad, and mix together very well. Set aside, covered, in a cool place for an hour or longer to develop flavors.
