Preparation time: 20 minutes. Standing time: 10 minutes. This salad displays the Tuscan trait of using stale bread in innovative ways. Paired with fresh summer produce, the dried bread takes on a second life. Classically, a rustic Italian bread is used. We tried it with an olive oil and rosemary-scented loaf. Remove crusts from bread and cut bread into 1-inch chunks. Place in a large bowl and add water and vinegar. Toss lightly so the bread is completely soaked. Let stand 10 minutes. Squeeze bread gently but firmly to remove most of the moisture; return to a dry mixing bowl. Add tomatoes, onion, celery, cucumber, capers and garlic to bread and toss lightly. Whisk oil, anchovy paste, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over bread mixture and toss well. Fold in basil. Chicago Tribune, 08/05/93.
