Panzanella salad with sweet cherry tomatoes, crunchy sourdough cubes, juicy mango, crisp cucumber and a delicious dressing is the perfect salad to enjoy today. This recipe makes a delicious and healthy addition to your meal planning for the week.
Panzanella salad originated from Italy and is traditionally made up of bread, tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese. To add a summer twist to it, I’ve added juicy mango. If you don’t like mango, try peaches, nectarines, blueberries, cherries, or watermelon. This recipe has all the traditional ingredients as well as mango, giving it a tropical summer taste to it and crunchy cucumber adding to the freshness.

Ingredients:
5 cups sourdough bread, stale, and cut into 1 inch cubes

3 cups halved cherry tomatoes or 2-3 larger tomatoes chopped

3 cups chopped cucumber
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed or torn

1/2 cup olive oil
4 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle 2 Tbsp olive oil over cubed bread in a bowl and toss to coat. Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes or until toasted and edges are golden brown. Cool.
In the meantime, chop the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, mango, garlic, basil, parsley and cheese. Add the bread cubes.
