10 oz. of day old bread, crust removed
21 oz. of fresh summer tomatoes, skinned and seeds removed, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 medium sweet onion (Vidalia or other sweet variety) chopped
2 red bell peppers, skins removed and chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and seeds removed, chopped
1/2 tsp. ground Cumin
8 tablespoons of good Spanish Olive oil, extra virgin
2 tablespoons of good Spanish Sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed
Diced tomato, cucumber and red bell pepper for garnish
Croutons (preferably homemade, optional) or crostini (grilled bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil)

1
In a bowl, soak the bread in 1/2 - 1 cup of water for 10 min. Squeeze out, by hand, as much water as possible from the bread.
2
In a food processor, puree all the chopped vegetables; add the cumin, garlic, the soaked bread (water squeezed out), sherry vinegar and Olive oil and 2 Tbsp cold water. Puree in the food processor until the mixture is entirely pureed and smooth. Add more cold water if needed to get the right consistency; it should be slightly thick but should pour easily. Add salt to taste (start with 1-2 tsp). Refrigerate at least 2 hours and re-taste for salt.
3
Serve chilled with garnish of chopped tomato, cucumber, red pepper; top with croutons or serve with crostini.
