• 1 cup water
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
• 1 piece of stale, rustic whole-grain bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (6-ounces)
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1 cup coarsely chopped green olives
• 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped basil
• 1/2 cup chopped mint
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

1.  In a large bowl, combine the water and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Gently fold the bread into the water, making sure all of the pieces become moistened.  Drain in a colander and gently squeeze out any remaining liquid.
2.  In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and remaining 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. 
3.  In a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, celery, green olives, onion, basil, mint, and oregano.  Add the vinaigrette and the bread cubes.  Fold together gently.  Season with salt and pepper.

Eileen, I just planted about 25 heirloom (and other) tomatoes yesterday. The latest I've ever planted them. Thought they'd be raised in the greenhouse, then I changed my mind. Out into the garden, they went. I hope to post a list later this week, and hopefully share the wins and losses as harvested. And in between that I'll be making and eating this salad and singing your praises.
