Panzanella

August 19, 2008

It’s mid-August and I have reached the height of my annual tomato addiction, bringing home bags upon bags of multicolored heirloom varietals after every trip to the farmer’s market. I’d be happy consuming B.L.T.’s until the frost hits but I am a bit worried about an expanding waistline or my family staging some form of intervention, so I have been trying to shake things up. Enter panzanella, or Tuscan bread and tomato salad.

I am a big fan of summer salads that are light, bright and crisp - but this isn’t one of those. Panzanella is the perfect salad when you need a something a bit more hearty (a mid-day snack for those weekend workdays out in the yard or a picnic after a long hike or bike ride). It’s a quick, no-cook salad recipe that is loaded with flavor and leaves you feeling full and satisfied.
