Italian Bread Salad... Panzanella An Italian counterpart of our Desi Bhel, Panzanella is a simple salad that is easy to put together and sure to please! Method: Dice ripe tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and keep in a wire mesh to drain over a bowl....to collect the juices. Cut bread into squares, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a touch of salt. Toast in a 400 degree oven in the middle rack for 15-20 min till golden....keep aside to cool. Now whisk olive oil & red wine vinegar( can also use balsamic) in the proportion of 2:1 along with the collected juices, salt & pepper. Slice cucumbers and onions and toss them with the toasted bread, diced tomato & salad dressing....garnish with torn fresh basil & serve immediately!! PS: Couldnt resist sprinkling a touch of crushed red pepper....to up the spice element! :-).
