How to make Italian Bread Salad

Preheat oven to 149°C with rack in middle.

Spread out bread in a 4-sided sheet pan and toast in oven, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely.

While bread cools, halve cucumber lengthwise, then core and thinly slice.

Toss together bread, cucumber, remaining ingredients, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper and let stand, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes. Season with additional oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
