Zucchini Panzanella Salad image

I learned how to make panzanella from my friend's grandmother. Once I discovered how to make the perfect vinaigrette, it became a dish I crave during the summer. It's also a great way to use day-old bread and your garden's bounty of zucchini. -Felicity Wolf, Kansas City, Missouri
