For best results, use ripe, flavorful tomatoes and day-old French bread. Feel free to add other vegetables like red onion, bell peppers, or capers. A splash of balsamic vinegar can add a nice tang to the dressing. If you don't have time to bake the bread, you can toast it in a dry skillet over medium heat. Panzanella is best served immediately after tossing the bread with the tomato mixture.

Nov 3, 2024The bread gets a little soggy if you don't serve it right away, so make sure to toss it with the tomato mixture just before serving.
