About this recipe
Panzanella is a traditional Tuscan salad born from the thrifty habit of using up stale bread rather than wasting it. Toasted bread soaks up the juices of ripe tomatoes and a tangy olive oil dressing, making it a light yet satisfying plant-based meal.
Method
- 1
Toast the bread cubes in the oven at 180°C for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden.
- 2
Rub the warm bread lightly with the cut garlic clove for aroma.
- 3
Cut the tomatoes into a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and let the juices release for 10 minutes.
- 4
Add the cucumber, red onion and toasted bread to the tomatoes.
- 5
Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper into a dressing.
- 6
Pour the dressing over, toss well and let sit for 10 minutes so the bread soaks up the juices.
- 7
Tear the fresh basil over the top and serve at room temperature.
Tips
- Always use day-old bread; fresh bread turns mushy in the dressing.
- Let the salad rest so the bread absorbs the tomato juices before serving.
- Serve at room temperature rather than chilled for the fullest flavor.
