Description

Panzanella is a classic Tuscan salad that casually throws together veggies with soft and crunchy bread. We love any excuse to toast up croutons, the perfect delivery vehicle for our creamy apple cider and sour cream dressing! Instead of the typical tomatoes, you’ll toss said croutons with beets and apple, along with toasted pecans, mint and feta cheese. Then enjoy this veg-packed Mediterranean-style meal for a little sunshine on the inside.
