    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Spread the bread cubes onto a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and then bake for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool.
  2. Add the watermelon, peaches, cucumbers, red onion and toasted bread cubes to a large bowl.
  3. In a jar with a lid or measuring cup, combine all of the vinaigrette ingredients. Shake or whisk until well combined and then pour over the salad ingredients.
  4. Gently stir everything together until it's all coated in the vinaigrette. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve the panzanella in the same bowl or pour it out onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Panzanella is best when made and served on the same day.
