Ingredients

1/2 loaf Pugliese, sliced lengthwise, and again into 1 1/2-inch strips; cross-cut into 2-inch bread chunks, about 4 cups 

1 red pepper, quartered and thinly sliced crosswise 

1 seedless cucumber, chopped 

1 tomato, chopped 

1/3 red onion, thinly sliced 

2/3 cup olive oil 

1/3 cup red-wine vinegar 

Pinch of sugar 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

6 ounces Greek feta, cut in chunks 

Preparation

Spread bread on pan to dry out for a couple hours or overnight.

Place pepper, cucumber, tomato, and onion in a bowl. Mix together olive oil, red-wine vinegar, sugar, and salt, and pour over vegetables; toss to coat. Add the bread and toss to combine. Allow the bread to sit for a bit to soak up the dressing. Crumble feta cheese on top. Cover and refrigerate up to overnight.
