Transform ripe tomatoes and day-old bread into a delightful Tuscan Panzanella Salad, perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy dinner paired with grilled chicken.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cups tomatoes, cut into large chunks
  • 4 cups day old (somewhat dry and hard) crusty bread (Italian or French loaf), cut into chunks the same size as the tomatoes (see Recipe Note)
  • 1 cucumber, skinned and seeded, cut into large chunks
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh basil, torn into little pieces
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup high quality extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and allow the mixture to marinate, covered, at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • Allow the salad to come to room temperature before serving if it has been refrigerated. If you've added meat, eggs, or cheese and are making it ahead of time, be sure to store it chilled and bring it back to room temperature before serving.
