Panzanella Salad
For many people, the name “Panzanella salad” may sound unfamiliar.
When we think of a typical salad, we usually picture a bowl filled with plenty of vegetables, perhaps some fruit, and maybe a little cheese on the side.
Panzanella is a little different.
The easiest way to think of it is as a “bread salad” made with plenty of dressing, allowing the toasted bread to soak up all those delicious flavors.
You can use whatever dressing you like, then toss it with bread, fresh vegetables, and fruit.
Ever since I discovered Panzanella, I’ve been making it almost every week. It’s seriously addictive. ☺️
It’s lighter than a sandwich, but more satisfying than a salad made entirely with vegetables.
And on days when I don’t have much of an appetite, this fresh and flavorful Panzanella always seems to brighten my mood. 💜

Ingredients
- Sourdough bread, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil
- 1 tsp salt, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, olive oil
++ I used Broadkase’s 72-Hour Low-Sugar Butter Sourdough, which I purchased from Kurly N Mart.
++ Ciabatta, sandwich bread, or any other bread you like will work well too.
++ Feel free to adjust the dressing to suit your taste.

How to Make It
1) Cut the bread into bite-sized pieces and toast it in the oven.
- 170°C / 340°F for 10–20 minutes
- The bread should be thoroughly dried out and crispy. This allows it to soak up the dressing and makes the salad even more delicious.
.
2) Make the dressing in a large bowl.
- You can create all kinds of dressings depending on your taste.
- A thinner, more pourable dressing works better than a thick one.
.
3) Stir well until the dressing is evenly combined.
.
4) Cut the cherry tomatoes, vegetables, and fruit into bite-sized pieces.
.
5) Add the toasted bread, cherry tomatoes, and basil to the bowl and toss everything together.
.
6) Finish with a sprinkle of Grana Padano cheese for extra flavor.

Have a fresh and lovely day. 💛
