Panzanella

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT VIEW IN ENGLISH

This delicious salad was first introduced to us by Dr. Yum herself in one of her very first project newsletters in 2014. It is a traditional panzanella or bread salad, which uses fresh ingredients straight from your summer garden or the farmers market! You can also find these ingredients in the grocery store year-round so you can have a taste of summer anytime. This salad is a perfect side for grilled chicken or fish, but it is also complete enough to be a light meal on its own. It is a very flexible salad, so feel free to add different vegetable ingredients or switch up the flavors by using a different vinegar or another type of cheese, like mozzarella or feta. You could also try different types of crusty bread like ciabatta, cheese bread, or a multigrain loaf.

método

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Chop bread into 1 inch cubes. In a large bowl, toss bread cubes with 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread bread on a large baking sheet and put in oven for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until croutons are lightly browned and crispy. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper, and red onion, cheese, basil, and cooled bread. Prepare vinaigrette by adding 1/4 cup vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, salt and pepper to a mason jar. Screw on lid and shake vigorously. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and shake again. Dress salad to your liking. Any remaining dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
