Directions
Set bread slices in the bottom of a bowl and cover them with cool water; let stand while you make the dressing.
In another mixing bowl combine the olive and vegetable oil, valsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the white wine vinegar; mix and season with salt and dried red pepper flakes. If you don't think the bread salad will be tangy enough, then drizzle in more vinegar.
After 15 minutes of soaking the bread, squeeze it dry, remove as much of the crust as possible and cut into large chunks. Toss into the dressing with the red onion and tomatoes; adjust the seasoning, combine with the basil and let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
If you wish, serve with slices of fresh mozarella cheese for some added protein.
