A Panzanella salad is an Italian dish that utilizes day old bread as well as traditional Italian ingredients like olives and capers. My version of a Panzanella , based on a recipe by Eating Well, isn't exactly authentic but it will still transport you straight to the Mediterranean. Plus, while the flavors are sophisticated the preparation is not since the majority of the ingredients
are items that you already have in your pantry.
