Panzanella is a classic Italian bread salad that's perfect for using up stale bread. This refreshing and flavorful dish combines crispy bread, juicy cherry tomatoes, briny olives, and fresh basil, all tossed in a light garlic and vinegar dressing. It's an ideal summertime meal or the perfect side dish for any occasion.
- For the best flavor, use ripe and juicy cherry tomatoes.
- Allow the bread to sit out for a day or two, or lightly toast it to achieve the best consistency for the salad.
- Feel free to add other seasonal vegetables like cucumbers or red onions for extra crunch and flavor.
- Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes after mixing to allow the bread to soak up the dressing.
- Use good quality extra virgin olive oil for the dressing to enhance the flavors of the salad.
