Stale Bread Goes Glam:Panzanella

While stale bread isn't necessarily the stuff that culinary dreams are made of, in the summer when I find myself with a few slices of day old crusty bread, I give it new life as panzanella salad.

The simple recipe is not without a bit of controversy. There are two schools of thought about how to handle the bread when making this salad. One says soak the bread in water...the other says use dry bread.

Where do I weigh in? Click here for my recipe and see.

This is perfect. It not only takes care of the last bit of french bread I have in the cupboard, but also utilizes the overwhelming supply of tomatoes and cucumbers we have. Thanks.
