Step 2

2: Whisk together the dressing then pour over the tomatoes, stir well then leave to stand for another 30 minutes then add the cucumber and onion then stir. Pre-heat your oven to 180c / gas mark 4. Dress the torn bread with the olive oil then place onto a baking tray and cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Add the bread to the salad and toss well to make sure it soaks up the dressing.
