Panzanella Salad


Panzanella salad, an Italian salad, is made of tomatoes and bread. In this recipe, I used dried basil instead of fresh leaves because I forgot to get them...Definitely better with fresh basil. I used heirloom tomatoes here, but really, any good juicy tomatoes would do.

Panzanella Salad Recipe

large punnet of tomatoes
1 red onion thinly sliced
1 large cucumber, chopped to pieces
handful fresh basil leaves, torn to pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
couple of slices of rustic bread, torn to pieces and toasted
(in a pan/oven)
generous amount of olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Toss everything in a big bowl. How easy and fresh! :)
