When I couldn't remember how to spell panzanella I found this recipe searching tomato salads. This is a good salad recipe for mid to late summer. I love bread/tomato salads because they can be made ahead of time and don't need to be refrigerated. I upped the red wine vinegar and added chopped cucumbers and red onions.
