As the name implies, this your last chance to use those summer beauties! It doesn’t matter if they are ugly or even blemished—just cut them up and blend them into this sublime chilled tomato goodness. Serve alongside a crispy Parmigiano Reggiano cheese crisp (that are so quick and easy to make—and totally addictive).

This is a traditional Italian bread salad I like to make with lightly toasted ciabatta bread, cucumbers, a selection of summer’s best tomatoes and basil, then tossed with a light vinaigrette. The bread is slightly crunchy, slightly drenched in the vinaigrette. The crunch of the cucumbers and the sweetest of the tomatoes and basil makes this a salad that is truly is summertime in a bowl!
