Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Toss to coat, then spread in a single layer. Bake for 10–12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the cubes are golden and crisp on the outside but still slightly chewy at the center.

While the bread toasts, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a large mixing bowl. Toss with a pinch of salt and let stand for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to release their juices.
