1
Prepare the Bread
Tear the bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. If the bread is too fresh, you can toast it lightly in the oven until it's slightly crispy.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the local tomatoes and cucumber. Add them to the bowl with the torn bread.
3
Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
4
Combine Everything
Pour the dressing over the bread and vegetable mixture. Add the fresh basil and toss gently to combine, ensuring the bread absorbs the dressing.
5
Let it Sit
Allow the salad to sit for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the bread soften slightly.
6
Serve
Give the salad a final gentle toss before serving. Enjoy your fresh Panzanella!
