Panzanella
This bread-and-tomato salad is the ideal way to use up stale bread and overly ripe tomatoes. The secret is to marinate the bread in a tart tomato dressing, layering the flavor. River Café chef Sian Wyn Owen recommends that you taste the vinaigrette first: “If you want to add more tomato juice, then blitz more tomatoes.” Crustier bread like ciabatta adds structure to the salad, while Pullman-style loaves lend a softer texture.
6–8 servings
