Procedure

There are many versions of the Acquasale: ancient peasant recipes that were prepared mainly in the countryside with the seasonal vegetables just sprouted. The abundant water present in the preparation served to soak the stale bread.

Do this: In a salad bowl add the tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, mint, oregano, garlic and olives. Mix well and keep in the refrigerator. In a bowl pour 300 ml of cold water, oil, vinegar and half a teaspoon of salt, beat with a fork and season the salad with the emulsion obtained.

Place one or two slices of stale bread in individual dishes. Cover with the salad and dressing and leave to flavor for a few minutesuntil the bread has softened.
