Panzanella Italian Bread Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I love this salad in the summer when my garden is producing. I usually throw some sort of protein in (leftover steak, shrimp,chicken) and serve it as a meal. I also add other types of veggies as they come in and out of season. Fresh basil is a must. If you dont have it, dont make it.
