Panzanella is a Tuscan summer salad made with fresh vegetables. It's more complex and flavorful than the typical summer cucumber and tomato salad, yet just as quick and easy to prepare. It features a vibrant vinaigrette and croutons, which add heartiness and texture. Chop fresh vegetables—cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and herbs—and toss with the dressing and croutons. The vibrant colors and flavor of panzanella evoke a summery atmosphere. The salad is light yet filling.
