Are you like me? A bread lover? As many benefits as I've heard for going gluten-free, I'm sorry, I just can't. Bread would be one of my desert island foods. Which leads me to my favorite salad....Panzanella. It's a bread salad, super simple, packed with yummy goodness and even makes good leftovers for lunch if you like dressing soaked bread, which I do.
Up-close and personal with my salad.
Toasted bread (I cube a sourdough baquette from Trader Joes), fresh diced tomatoes, sliced black and green olives, roasted red peppers, diced scallions, chopped cucumbers and provolone cheese. I dress the salad with a olive oil, red wine vinegar and a little salt and pepper. Or you could buy your favorite Italian dressing.
Toast the bread crumbs under the broiler and then allow to cool while you assemble the rest of the salad.
Yum- lunch the next day.
