The base of an Italian Panzanella Salad is crunchy bread pieces. I crunch the bread cubes up in the oven with some garlic, olive oil, and fresh thyme, so it’s more of a crouton. Classically, in Italy, any stale old chewy bread is used for making Panzanella salad.
Leftovers will keep for a few days in the fridge, but the flavor of the tomatoes will be less bright and the bread can over-soak. Even so, it's still one of the best salads of summer.
