Chef's Notes
Do not rush the resting phase! The hard rusks need every single second of that ten-minute window to absorb the tomato juices without turning into complete mush.
Pro Tip
If your tomatoes are slightly out of season, give them an extra pinch of salt right at the start to draw out their natural sugars and supercharge the dressing.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the hard rusks into the bowl and immediately serving them without the ten-minute rest, resulting in your bewildered guests chipping their teeth on rock-solid bread.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal jester declares that calling a bowl of smashed bread and tomatoes a 'salad' is the kind of culinary optimism that keeps divorce lawyers in business.
The Culinary Science
Osmosis is your best friend here; the acidic vinegar and salt pull out water from the tomatoes, creating a savory liquid that the dry bread eagerly rehydrates with.
