Salad Fresh Panzanella

I love Panzanella salad. It's such an economical salad in that you are able to salvage bread that you'd likely throw out otherwise. In this case I used half a loaf of Sesame Egg bread but your options are pretty unlimited as far as what bread you use. Whatever crusty bread you have on hand will work perfectly as long as it's a bit stale and dry.

What's a little different is the addition of fresh spring mix lettuce. I felt like adding the lettuce would help freshen up the salad both visually and when eaten. It really added a little colour & freshness to the salad.

One thing that is important when preparing bread salads especially in this case where we've added fresh lettuce is that it is best eaten immediately upon dressing. The bread will soak up a lot of the dressing which initially is good but after sitting in the fridge overnight the salad tends to be quite dry. Also, the delicate lettuce will be awfully soggy if left overnight so try and enjoy the salad quickly.

Hope y'all enjoy!
