Panzanella is a refreshing and healthy Tuscan salad that is perfect for the summer months. It is made with stale bread, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and fresh basil. The bread is soaked in water and then squeezed dry before being tossed with the other ingredients. The salad is dressed with a simple vinaigrette made with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Panzanella is a great way to use up leftover bread and is a light and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish. It is a perfect dish for picnics or outdoor gatherings.
