PANZANELLA

This is a wonderfully fresh salad in the summer when cherry tomatoes are fully ripened.

We had many versions of panzanella on a recent trip to Italy's Tuscany region.

This one is my favorite.

1 basket of red cherry tomatoes

1 basket of yellow marinated plum tomatoes

1 sm. red onion, minced 4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced

1/2 c. fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 tbsp. red wine vinegar

Salt, to taste

1/3 c. olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper

8 oz. soft mozzarella cheese

Whole basil leaves to garnish

Soak the bread in water for a few minutes.

Squeeze it dry and crumble into a mixing bowl.

Mix the tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil with the bread.

In a small bowl, mix the vinegar with a pinch of salt, until the salt is dissolved.

Whisk in the olive oil. Toss with the salad, salt and pepper to taste.

Top with generous dollop of the mozzarella and a whole leaf of basil.

Serves 8.
