Panzanella Salad

Written by , Posted in Bread, Cheese, Dinner, Fruit, Herbs, Lunch, Main Dishes, Quick and Easy, Salads, Sides, Toasting, Vegetables, Vegetarian

This is my second version of Panzanella Salad (bread salad). They were both amazing. I mean, how can you go wrong with crusty bread, olive oil, parmesan, and fresh basil?! I know. You can’t. The ingredients are what I had at the time. Use what you have, and what you like!

  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1/2 C fresh mozarella
  • 1/4 C parmesan, grated
  • 1/4 C Feta
  • Also good with red onion, mushrooms, spinach… use your imagination. If you think it will taste good, try it. If it doesn’t, you know for next time.
Instructions
  1. Rub bread with garlic; cube (if it’s frozen, grate the rest into the dressing – if it’s not just grate the whole clove into the dressing)
  2. Drizzle with olive oil; broil (or toast) 5 minutes, turn, 5 min more.
  3. Chop herbs; whisk them with vinegar through cayenne. Slowly whisk in olive oil, creating an emulsion. Toss with squash through feta.
  4. Toss with bread right before serving.

Strawberry-Basil Sandwich

Written by , Posted in Bread, Brunch, Cheese, Fruit, Herbs, Lunch, Quick and Easy, Sandwiches, Toasting, Vegetables, Vegetarian

It’s perfect for this time of year (fresh basil from my garden and locally grown strawberries). Part of the idea is actually from something that Tim told me he made while I was in Colorado last week (strawberries on a sandwich). Sorry, I could have taken a photo, but, it didn’t last long enough. This was so good I didn’t want to eat anything else with it!!

  • 4 basil leaves, fresh, torn
  • 1t red onion, diced
  • 4 slices parmesan cheese (or enough to cover the roll)
Instructions

  2. Prepare toppings.
  3. Halve roll; spread with mustard. Pour oil and vinegar over, press halves together (to let oil and vinegar soak in).
  4. Top with remaining ingredients.
