Panzanella
This Italian classic salad dish comes from Tuscany where simple, country cooking rules supreme. This simple recipe shows that when you have great ingredients, you don’t need much else. It works best when the tomatoes are extremely ripe and sweet so try to buy the best you can. Feel free to add to this basic recipe with other ingredients that take your fancy – sweet peppers, mozzarella cheese, capers, rocket and crunchy lettuce all work well.
