Spring Panzanella with Herbs and Lemon: An Incredible 7-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 cups cubed stale bread (preferably ciabatta or baguette)
– 2 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped
– 1 cup cucumber, diced
– 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
– 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a delightful Spring Panzanella:

1. Prepare the Bread: If your bread is not stale, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
2. Chop the Vegetables: While the bread is toasting, chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add Fresh Herbs: Chop the basil and parsley. Add these fragrant herbs to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Combine Ingredients: Once the bread is toasted, add it to the bowl with the vegetables and herbs.
6. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together until well coated.
7. Let it Marinate: Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the bread absorb some of the dressing.
8. Serve: After marinating, give it a gentle toss once more before serving. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

These straightforward steps will guide you to create this incredible salad in no time!
