Spring pesto panzanella
Pesto
Italian cuisine
This panzanella was born of a need to create a dish that could double as a main dish for me and a side dish for my family on Father's Day. While traditional bread salads are just mixtures of bread and tomatoes, I bulked this up with asparagus, leeks, beans, lettuce, and sun-dried tomatoes and seasoned it with my favorite flavor of summer - pesto. In the end, the bread cubes soaked in the glorious pesto and tomato juices, becoming deliciously soft bites of heaven with the veggies melting into that flavor burst. The perfect salad for father's day or any other spring/summer afternoon in the sun.
