Panzanella salad is a must in the summertime. Make the most of ripe tomatoes by tossing them with cucumber, avocado, and crunchy za'atar croutons. Brighten it up with some fresh mint and a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette. —Riley Wofford

Directions
-

Meanwhile, soak onions in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain well. In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in remaining 1/4 cup oil until thick and emulsified. Add cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, mint, croutons, and drained onions; toss gently to combine.
