PANZANELLA (ITALIAN TOMATO AND BREAD SALAD)
Panzanella is a classic tomato and bread salad from Tuscany. Bursting with ripe tomatoes, cucumber and basil, it's hard to think of a salad that screams "summer" any louder. Chunks of lightly toasted bread meanwhile bring delicious texture and some heft to the salad, making it filling enough for lunch or a light meal.Be warned, this salad demands the very best tomatoes! If you don't have juicy tomatoes, don't make this. Make another salad instead!And though some Italians may tell you toasting bread is not the traditional way to make Panzanella, don't skip it. That is, unless you WANT unidentifiable white mush in your bowl within minutes of making this!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C /350°F (160°C fan).
- Toss bread chunks with 1 tbsp olive oil in a bowl.
- Toast: Spread bread on a a tray and toast for about 15 minutes, until the outside is becoming golden and crunchy but the inside is still a little soft, like toast. Remove and leave to cool.
- Cut tomato into 8 wedges each. Cut some of these wedges into half (I like irregular shapes for this rustic salad).
- Sweat tomato with salt: Put tomatoes into a colander over a large bowl. Season with the salt, toss and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out the juices. RESERVE the tomato juice in the bowl for the dressing.
- Cut cucumber into any shaped chunks aroun 2.5cm / 1" pieces. Again, I like to do irregular but even-sized shapes.
- Toss veg: Place tomato sweating in colander into large bowl. Add cucumber and basil, toss gently.
- Tomato Dressing: Add Dressing ingredients into bowl holding the tomato juice, whisk well.
- Dress salad: Add bread to salad, pour over dressing. Give it a light toss.
- Rest then serve: Leave for 5 minutes to let the juices soak into the bread, tossing once or twice. Toss once more just before serving!

PANZANELLA (ITALIAN BREAD SALAD)
Why throw away the rest of that good, dense loaf you picked up at the bakery the other day? This is what the Italians do with day-old (or older) bread. Simply delicious!!!

ITALIAN BREAD SALAD (PANZANELLA)
Like so many Mediterranean bread salads, stale bread is combined here with red onion and tomato and dressed with vinegar and olive oil. It's like a bread salad version of gazpacho.

Steps:
- If your bread is very hard, douse it with water first and saw it into a few pieces that will fit into a medium bowl. Cover with the onions. Pour on cold water to cover and let sit for 20 minutes. Lift the onions off the bread and rinse in a strainer. Drain the bread, squeeze out excess water and crumble the bread into a salad bowl.
- Add the tomatoes, basil, and parsley to the bowl. Mix together the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and toss with the bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer before serving.
