Italian Bread Salad

"For this colourful, crunchy salad to be truly irresistible, use the best olive oil and some good quality bread. You can prepare the salad ingredients earlier in the day. Don't dress the vegetables, just pack them loosely in a large, clean ziplock or freezer bag and chill until needed. Drizzle the bread with olive oil, cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave at room temperature until you are ready to make up the salad for serving. If raw onions are too strong for you, soak chopped onions in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, and use as above."
