We had Toasted Panzanella last night for a BBQ party. It was quite tasty. We all decided that it was better without the bread chunks. Here is the recipe:

This is one of my favorites which is hysterical because I have always hated soggy bread. Now I'm loving Panzanella! I like the addition of the olives and the capers so this recipe will certainly replace the one I was using! Thank you for posting it!

I've never eaten this type of salad before and it looks great, such good flavors. I just have to wait until the "semi-local" tomatoes are available (mid-July, I'm hoping).
