A stunning summer Italian salad, Panzanella consists of slices of stale bread, ripe, juicy vegetables, and dressing. Traditionally, Panzanella in Italy was made only with onions, seasoned with oil and vinegar, and served on toasted bread. But today, this salad is unimaginable without sweet, ripe tomatoes and basil. Other vegetables are also added, complementing the salad with a variety of flavor combinations. Dip the crusty bread into the dressing and the salad juices and enjoy the rich flavor of this simple dish.
