    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/17/2011   This was so simple and delicious! I omitted the onions and the provolone and just sprinkled it with a little grated parmesan. I also halved the amount of beans. I used calabrese bread and served it immediately instead of letting it sit the 3 hours+. I wish I had found this recipe at the beginning of the summer, it's a perfect meal for a hot day!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/03/2011   In Tuscany, the traditional Panzanella has only rustic bread tomatoes (ripened) red onions cucumber sprig basil EVOO (italian of course) vinegar to taste salt and pepper to taste BUT neither provolone nor beans Compare with the traditional recipe: http://www.academiabarilla.com/recipes/toscana/panzanella-bread-salad.aspx  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/01/2011   I just made this for dinner and was very disapointed. This was very boring.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/31/2010   Looks like the bread is toasted. I'll try this with garbanzos.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/21/2008   Our family has enjoyed a salad very similar to this for many years. The ingredients can vary depending on what's in the pantry/fridge. I've even used par-boiled green beans, carrots and sliced potatoes. Also, store-bought croutons work if added just before serving if you want more *crunch*. I make a big batch so we'll have some for next day and add the bread/croutons accordingly so it won't get too soggy. Much better than fatty potato salad and so refreshing. Love it!
