How it is made

Quantities are for 4 people. The steps are in the order you do them.

  1. slice the onion thinly and leave it for an hour in a bowl with the vinegar and a pinch of salt
  2. cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and the carosello and the celery into small pieces
  3. break the bread by hand into a large bowl and pour the tomatoes over it, squeezing them a little so the juice soaks the bread
  4. add the carosello, the celery, the torn basil, the oregano, the capers, the oil and the salt, and mix well
  5. cover and leave to rest for an hour, so the bread softens
  6. when serving, add the onion drained from the vinegar
