Panzanella salad is THE salad of this summer. This bread salad combines juicy tomatoes, onion, and bread (or pita) with a simple vinaigrette and fresh herbs for a super fresh & delicious, crowd-pleasing summer salad! Plus, it's ready in just 5 minutes!
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, shallot and pitas.
Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss well.
Divide into serving dishes and optionally garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
If the bread is very stale: Stale bread becomes tough. However, sprinkling it with water before baking helps steam it to soften the middle, so it isn’t overly tough.
Use ripe, in-season produce: This bread salad recipe only contains a few ingredients, so use the freshest, best produce you can.
Don’t cut the bread/pita too big: That way, you get a little of everything in every forkful.
Leave it to rest: 30 minutes is ideal to allow all the flavors to blend.
