What do you do with day old, kinda stale bread? You make Panzanella {Classic Italian Bread Salad}! This will be one of the best dishes you ever eat. Seriously, we took this salad down in minutes. Maybe seconds. Serve on it’s own or with a hearty piece of protein. This salad is perfect for upcoming spring celebrations. Using the freshest tomatoes you can find makes every bite memorable.
Pre heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack in the middle. Toss bread cubes with grape seed oil, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Lay cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool to the touch.
Whisk together dressing ingredients. In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes and mozzarella in the dressing. Add the toasted bread cubes. Toss well.
Plate the spinach and mache, top with the bread mixture. Top with basil leaves.
