VEGETABLE
PANZANELLA WITH TUNA
Make
sure your bread is dry so the croutons won't
get soggy when tossed with the dressing.
If you're using fresh bread, bake the bread
crumbs at 350°F for 5 minutes. Serve
this salad immediately, while the bread
is still crunchy.
VINAIGRETTE:
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
SALAD:
2 1/2 pounds cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise,
seeded and sliced (about 4 cups)
1 1/4 cups diced zucchini
1 cup diced red bell pepper
3/4 cup halved pitted kalamata olives
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedged (about
1 1/2 pounds)
1 (6-ounce) can albacore tuna in water,
drained and flaked
4 cups (1/2-inch) cubed day-old whole-wheat
