Summertime at my house consists of delicious meals using what is grown in our very own garden. Tomatoes, basil, onions, zucchini, cucumbers, beets, eggplant, kale, peppers, sweet potatoes, and the list goes on…What this recipe represents is a traditional Italian recipe, panzanella salad, made and enjoyed throughout Italy during the summer. Classically the dish is made with tomatoes and day old bread. I put my own twist on the dish using local, organic and absolutely delicious ingredients, as well as day old gluten-free bread baked from where I work: Wildflour Bakery and Cafe in Lawrenceville, NJ.
There’s something about the sweet taste of tomatoes picked right in your backyard that gives me chills, not to mention the smooth and tart taste compliments of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yum Yum! An explosion of summer in your mouth… follow my recipe under the “recipes” page- click on “vegetables” and share the taste of summer with everyone!
