  5. Pour half the vinaigrette over the bread and fruit mixture and toss gently.
  6. Add the salami strips and basil leaves. Toss again.
  7. Add the remaining vinaigrette little by little while tossing, until the bread is well soaked and slightly softened.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
