Salad Fresh Panzanella

Why I Love This Recipe
Anytime I have a loaf of crusty bread lying around I immediately think of Panzanella Salad. This version also includes fresh Spring Mix lettuce which adds a welcome pop of colour and freshness to the bread salad.
Ingredients You'll Need
4 C Stale Crusty Bread , cut into equal sized squares
½ C Fresh Parsley
2 Roma Tomatoes, quartered lengthwise and sliced
15 Bocconcini
2 Shallots, diced
1 C Spring Mix Lettuce
1/3 C + EVOO
3 Tbsp. + Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tsp. Fresh Thyme
¼ Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
Sea Salt / Black Pepper
Directions
Add the tomatoes, shallots, bocconcini, crusty bread, and parsley to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the oil and red wine vinegar over the salad and begin tossing everything together.
Gently stir in the fresh spring mix, pepper flakes, thyme, and a generous pinch of sea salt / black pepper. Taste and adjust oil / vinegar if the salad appears too dry.
Serve and ENJOY!
