I made this recipe when Rich and I were up in the cabin in Vermont. We had bought some heirloom tomatoes and a baguette at a local farmer’s market nearby, so I whipped the panzanella salad up before we went on a long hike. It was the perfect lunch to come back to. If you don’t have heirloom tomatoes, just go with a variety of orange, red, and yellow tomatoes–or just red ones if that’s what you have. It’s a really adaptable recipe.

Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, salt, grated garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, dijon mustard, black pepper and basil leaves. Place the bread cubes, chopped tomatoes, red onion in a large bowl. Pour the dressing mixture over the salad and toss. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Serve on a bed of greens (optional).
