This is my version of the typical grilled panzanella salad…..it’s perfect for grilling weather…
with a big glass of white peach sangria. Sangria recipe coming next.
{i’ll list all the ingredients at the bottom}
………………………………….
Prepare the bbq {medium heat}
Brush both sides of cut bell peppers, onion, and bread slices lightly with olive oil
and sprinkle with salt n pepper. Grill vegetables until tender and brown, about 4 minutes for the peppers
and 3 minutes for the onion.
For the dressing: whisk the lemon juice, red wine vinegar and lemon peel together.
Gradually whisk in the 1/3 cup oil.
Season dressing to taste with salt n pepper.
{Bryan really does enjoy grilling my bread…he does….pinky promise.}
Grill bread until browned and crisp, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes.
cool slightly.
Rub bread with cut sides of garlic and then tear bread into 3/4 inch pieces.
Cut grilled vegetables into 1 inch pieces and add to bowl, then add bread pieces.
Add dressing, tomatoes with juices, and all remaining ingredients to salad; toss.
Let stand about 20 minutes.

1/4 c fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
