What is Panzanella?

If you have ever gone to a Tuscan Italian restaurant, they probably had an offering of Panzanella Salad. It really refers to a recipe for tomatoes and bread—two of the most important staples in a traditional Italian household (besides pasta).

Panzanella combines two words in Italian: Pane (bread) and zanella (soup bowl). So loosely translated, it means a bread bowl.

In a traditional Panzallea salad, you have the most common ingredients: crusty bread, tomatoes, onions, fresh basil, cucumbers, and olives, and then tossed with an easy homemade salad dressing.

While the bread is toasting up, make the vinegarette add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Then when the bread is done, let it rest before you cut it up. Cut it up into about 1-inch pieces.

Cut the tomatoes in half, dice up the olives, slice the red onions, and cut the cucumber. In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, olives, and red onions, and toss in the cut bread. Then drizzle with the homemade vinegarette.
