This classic Italian bread and tomato salad manages to be fresh and summery, but still hearty enough to eat as a light supper or lunch.  Traditional panzanella, also called panmolle, is made with stale bread, ripe meaty tomatoes, cucumbers and a vinaigrette made from olive oil and ride wine vinegar. See how I make my Panzanella in POV Italian Cooking episode 97.

Panzanella or Panmolle is a Tuscan summer salad. It includes chunks of soaked stale bread and tomatoes, sometimes also onions and basil, dressed with olive oil, salt and pepper, and vinegar. It’s also popular in other parts of central Italy. This salad was based on onions, not tomatoes, until the 20th century. Other ingredients—lettuce, olives, mozzarella, white wine, capers, anchovies, celery, carrots, red wine, red onion, cucumber, tuna, parsley, boiled eggs, mint, bell peppers, lemon juice, and garlic— are sometimes used, but Florentine traditionalists disapprove of them.
