Panzanella (Italian Bread Salad)

8. September 2016 by Natanja

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

A salad of crusty rustic bread with fresh summer tomatoes, aromatic herbs and notes of garlic.

Panzanella (Italian Bread Salad) in a white bowl garnished with fresh basil.

Phew, we’re finally back home after a month of being abroad. I have experienced jet lag for the first time and I have to say, it really wasn’t fun. Strangely, ever since I’ve been back I have been getting up quite early, usually around 6 or 6:30, this was kind of a side effect of my jet lag, although certainly a positive one. I really wasn’t a morning person before leaving for our trip and its funny that jet lag has apparently turned me into one. 

One of the things I have missed most was my bed but second place was my kitchen. Now that I can finally cook something in my own kitchen again, I want to share an end of the summer recipe with you. If you plant your own tomatoes you will know that the tomato season is slowly coming to its end. I have been lucky to taste some home-grown tomatoes this season and this salad here is even better if you use home-grown.

Panzanella (Italian Bread Salad) in a white bowl garnished with fresh basil.

The first time I heard of panzanella I was actually reluctant to try it. A friend told me about it but it sounded so simple and plain that I didn’t hold it in high regard and quickly dismissed the idea again. Then one day I had some bread cubes left over and decided to try it despite my prejudice. I’m glad I did because I immediately loved it and have been making it regularly ever since. While the salad itself might sound quite plain, don’t be fooled, it is everything but that! The garlic, spices and herbs make this dish super tasty.

For the bread I recommend any rustic type of bread. I prefer whole grain spelt because it brings a lot of flavor to the salad as opposed to any white bread. I always make my own bread cubes. It’s easy, cheap and you can get a use out of bread that has become stale. Simply cut the bread into slices and cube them. Place the bread cubes onto a baking sheet and leave them out to dry for 1-2 days. Then fill into an airtight container.

Now that you know how to make your own bread cubes, you can go ahead and try them in this salad 😉 If you do, be sure to let me know in the comment section down below!

    What a beautiful, simple, and delicious salad. I just purchased some local cherry tomatoes and bet these would taste great in such a salad.

    Looks delicious and refreshing Natasha! We’re lucky to have friends who have gardens overflowing with tomatoes haha. So I don’t think we actually bought tomatoes this season. Definitely trying this (I think we still have some in the fridge!)
