Instructions

  1. Cut the stale bread into pieces and lightly moisten it with cold water.
  2. Gently squeeze it between your hands to drain it without turning it to mush.
  3. Cut the tomatoes, cucumber and pepper into small dice.
  4. Finely slice the red onion and chop the parsley.
  5. Mix the vegetables with the parsley and the moistened bread.
  6. Season with the olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper and sumac.
  7. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the bread absorbs the flavors.
  8. Adjust the seasoning and serve fresh.

Variations and tips

Crispy version. Toast the bread in cubes in the oven before mixing it with the vegetables.
