FRIED-BREAD PANZANELLA WITH RICOTTA AND HERBS
Frying thick slices of bread in olive oil on only one side gives you a magical combination of crisp and soft so that the bread can soak up the tomato juices without getting soggy.

Steps:
- Mix ricotta and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Toss tomatoes, shallot, garlic, basil, parsley, and vinegar in a medium bowl; season with salt. Heat 4 Tbsp. oil in a skillet large enough to fit bread in a single layer over medium. Fry bread until deep golden brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, sprinkle fried side with salt, and cut into 1 1/2" pieces. Toss into tomato mixture.
- Spread ricotta mixture over plates and top with salad; drizzle with more oil.
