Panzanella (Tuscan Tomato and Bread Salad)
Report
Panzanella (Tomato and Bread Salad) is the perfect salad for peak-season tomatoes. You could go with stale bread pieces, but we find that making our homemade croutons put this salad over the top.

Ingredients
For the Salad
- 5 cups croutons click the link for easy recipe
- 3 heirloom tomatoes cored, seeded, and cut into small cubes
- 1 cucumber peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cubed
- ½ cup red onion chopped, or thinly sliced
- ½ cup black olives pitted
- ¼ cup capers drained
- ¼ cup basil fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup parsley flat-leaf, fresh, chopped
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, for garnish
For the Dressing
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar more to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh, usually from 1 lemon
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
Do Ahead
- Make the croutons and set aside.
Assemble the Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the croutons, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, capers, basil, and parsley. Mix together with two large wooden spoons.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a large jar with a tight-fitting lid. Affix the lid and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds, until fully combined (alternately, whisk the ingredients in a bowl until fully combined).
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss continuously for a few minutes. Let rest for about 10 minutes, and then toss again.
- Serve the salad at once, with grated Parmesan as a garnish.

- The croutons can be made 24 hours in advance. Once cool, place in a baggie and seal shut. Leave on the counter for up to 4 or 5 days.
- This salad is best served about 15 to 20 minutes after tossing with the dressing. Though, it will continue to be wonderful for several hours. After a few hours, the bread will be quite soggy, but still yummy. Leftovers aren't so great as the bread turns to mush.
