Panzanella salad is a traditional Italian salad originating from Tuscany. It's known for its vibrant colors and refreshing taste, making it a perfect dish for warm weather (or anytime).
Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add in your salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and cubed bread. Stir and cook until the bread is lightly browned. Set aside.
In a salad bowl, add cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, balsamic, a splash of olive oil, and basil.
Mix the warm croutons into the rest of the salad right before serving. Enjoy!
