I added grilled tuna to make it a complete meal. It was delicious. First-of-the-year local tomatoes made the flavors especially savory.

YES! I made this just as directed, and it was very easy and delicious. Perfect for a light summer lunch (or anytime). And, it makes quite a bit. I will surely keep this recipe. Thanks!

I liked it very much and I made some substitutions to suit my taste: instead of cucumbers or fennel I added artichokes, palm, olives. I fried ciabatta bread cubes one the skillet with some olive oil and salt. To finish the leftover the next day I removed the soggy bread cubes before eating.
