Panzanella

Panzanella, also known as pansanella, panmolle, panmòllo, or pane 'nzuppo, is a rustic dish typical of central Italy, especially Tuscany, Marche, Umbria, and Lazio. The traditional recipe uses day-old bread, red onion, and basil, all dressed with olive oil, white vinegar, and salt. In Tuscany and Umbria, the bread is soaked in water, then squeezed and crumbled before mixing with the other ingredients. This dish is very popular in Tuscany and is usually enjoyed in the summer because it's refreshing and made with vegetables that are in season. It's a great one-dish meal.
