Panzanella Salad with a Summer Twist

Panzanella salad - cherry tomatoes, crunchy sourdough cubes, juicy mango, crisp cucumber and a delicious dressing

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.
