Panzanella salad is an Italian bread, tomato, and red onion salad that is packed with flavor and different textures. I love to add mozzarella cheese and olives.
Ingredients
- 6 cups day old Italian bread, torn into bite-size pieces
- ¼ cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
- ¾ cup sliced red onion
- 10 basil leaves, shredded
- ½ cup pitted and halved green olives
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella, cut into bite-size pieces
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Toss bread with 1/3 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl; arrange on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until golden, about 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bread back into the bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk 1/4 cup of olive oil and balsamic vinegar together in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 4
Add tomatoes, onion, basil, olives, and mozzarella cheese into the bowl with bread; toss with vinaigrette and let stand for 20 minutes before serving.
