Acqua Sale

The simple, but delicious, fresh tomato salad from the tiny region of Molise has a soft bread base, making it similar in principle to the Tuscan salad panzanella. Don’t skimp on the dried oregano - the one herb that is always much more delicious when used dried instead of fresh - as this will bring the salad vibrantly to life. Lots of good-quality olive oil is used to give the salad extra richness. Choose the sweetest and ripest tomatoes you can find, while they are in season.
