Panzanella Salad is a perfect marriage of summer sun ripened tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and spinach tossed together with toasted bread and a light but flavorful dressing. This light but flavor packed salad is SO GOOD, and perfect for your next BBQ, potluck or dinner tonight.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut 1 loaf Italian sourdough or French bread into cubes, spread out on a baking sheet, and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Toast until golden for 12-15 minutes.
In a medium-sized bowl add 1 pound mixed tomatoes sliced, ½ red onion sliced, 2 cups spinach, 1 cucumber sliced, and bread. In a small bowl whisk together ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper. Toss until coated. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
