This week's
Barefoot Bloggers challenge was
Panzanella from the Ina
Garten Parties Cookbook chosen by Melissa of
It's Melissa's Kitchen. Being married to an Italian man I had to look up exactly what Panzanella meant...check it out
HERE. At first I was a little nervous about this recipe because I don't like raw tomatoes (I know, I know) but I was surprised at how much I liked this salad. Ina hit the mark with this one! The dressing was just right, not too over powering and the fresh veggies (tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onion and basil) tasted great with the toasted bread. We did make one
omission, we left out the capers. Being a
carb lover I had to include a photo of my favorite part.....
And yes, I ate the veggies too! Thanks Melissa, for choosing such a great summer time recipe. We will be making this one again.

I LOL when you said you were married to an Italian man and you don't like tomatoes! My hubby doesn't like garlic and I am italian! Great looking salad I am glad you enjoyed it!
This salad is made for us carb lovers! Your salad looks awesome!
Isnt' this a great use of summer veggies? Your pics are great. And there is nothing better than bread that has been soaking in salad dressing?
Bread salad is a carb lovers dream and I just loved it! Your salad looks great.
Yay carbs! I loved the salad too. Perfect for summer.
Great job!
Your salad looks delicious! It is funny that I doubted I would like this too and ended up loving it!
This is the perfect recipe for summer! It looks delicious!
I wasn't big on capers until a few years ago... now I like them in moderation. Thanks for the definition. Your pictures look great. I want more of this salad. Now.

I don't like tomatoes or capers either and I picked the recipe...go figure! Glad you liked it!
I am glad you liked this even with the raw tomatoes. Your lab is so cute, we have a yellow 2 year old who is great and crazy all at the same time
Looks delicious and not TOO hard. I'm going to give it a try.
