Panzanella

Panzanella is one of my favorite Italian dishes! Super easy to make, plus it's fresh, light, and healthy! Heirloom tomatoes add color to the dish, the croutons add crunch, and the cheese ties everything together! You've got to try this, it's the perfect summer dish!

Ingredients:
Crusty bread
Olive oil
Garlic Powder
Salt & pepper
Heirloom tomatoes (they come in all varieties of shapes and colors!)
Fresh mozzerella
Fresh basil

For the croutons, start by preheating your oven to 350. On a sheet pan, break the bread into pieces (about a half inch for each piece). Lay them on the pan in an even layer. Drizzle bread with olive oil, dust with garlic powder, and sprinkle on desired amount of salt. Bake in the over for about 10 minutes until lightly bown and crispy. In a large bowl, dice up all different colored heirloom tomatoes (same size as bread, about a half inch thick). Then dice the cheese the same way and add it in with the tomatoes. Finely chop the basil and add that in, along with some olive oil, salt, & pepper. Toss to combine all the flavors. Finally, add in the croutons and toss together well. Serve & enjoy!
