    Recipe Introduction


    This colorful Tuscan salad may be the inspiration of thrifty cooks using up day-old bread, but its sheer simplicity has made it an all-time favorite. Juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumbers give it refreshing coolness.

    List of Ingredients




    Panzanella (Bread Salad)


    3 cups day-old Italian bread torn into bite-size pieces or cut into 1-inch cubes

    • 1 pound tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
    • 1/2 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges and separated
    • 1/2 small cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks

    • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

    Recipe
