Description
This peach and ricotta panzanella is one of my favorite summer dishes! It's quick, easy, and a great way to use stale bread!
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups stale rustic style bread, cut in 1 inch cubes
- 2 peaches, sliced
- 16 ounces heirloom cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
Simple Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Top With
- fresh basil
- fresh thyme
- ricotta cheese (burrata and mozzarella are also delicious)
Instructions
- Toss together the bread, peaches, tomatoes, and shallot in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the vinaigrette ingredients then pour over the salad.
- Toss everything together and make sure all the bread is evenly coated in the vinaigrette.
- Cover and let rest for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Top with fresh herbs and cheese.
Notes
Panzanella is best eaten the same day as it does not keep well.
