I made this salad ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours. The flavors had a chance to meld together, and it was even better the next day.

I used a mix of fresh and dried basil in this salad, and it was delicious. The dried basil added a depth of flavor that the fresh basil couldn't match on its own.

I made this salad with grilled chicken, and it was amazing. The smoky flavor of the chicken paired perfectly with the tangy dressing and fresh vegetables.

I added a handful of chopped kalamata olives to this salad, and it really took it to the next level. The salty, briny flavor of the olives was a great addition.

I used balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar in the dressing, and it was delicious. It gave the salad a slightly sweeter flavor.

I added a can of chickpeas to this salad for extra protein. It was a great way to make it a more filling meal.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used a combination of chopped cucumbers and bell peppers in this salad. It was still really good!

I made this salad with gluten-free bread, and it turned out great. It's a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

I used a sourdough baguette for this salad, and it was perfect. The slightly sour flavor of the bread really complemented the other ingredients.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the pancetta from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm not usually a fan of panzanella salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the bread soaks up all the delicious juices from the tomatoes and basil.
