Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups of cubed corn bread
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cup small cubed fontina cheese--don't substitute
1/4 cup chopped basil (fresh only)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Make the cornbread ahead so it is ready for you to prepare the salad. Cut the cornbread into small cubes. Jiffy mix is okay to use.
  • 2. Combine the cornbread, tomatoes, fontina cheese and basil leaves in a small serving bowl. Set bowl in the fridge until dinner time.
  • 3. Make the dressing. In a pint jar, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Put a lid on it, shake the bottle and place in the fridge until dinner time.
  • 4. When you are ready to serve the salad, shake the dressing, pour it over the ingredients in the serving bowl, and mix very gently to combine without tearing up the cornbread. Do a taste test to make sure it has enough salt. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornbread: Use a slightly sweet cornbread for a more balanced flavor profile. If your cornbread is too savory, it can overpower the other ingredients in the salad.
  • Cut the cornbread into small pieces: This will help it absorb the dressing and other ingredients more evenly.
  • Toast the cornbread croutons: Toasted cornbread croutons add a nice crunchy texture to the salad. You can toast them in the oven or in a skillet with a little bit of oil.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your panzanella salad, the more colorful and flavorful it will be. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
  • Make a simple dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need to dress your panzanella salad. Use a ratio of 3 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar. You can also add some herbs, spices, or citrus juice to taste.

Conclusion:

Cornbread panzanella salad is a delicious and refreshing summer salad that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, or backyard barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have some leftover cornbread, don't throw it away! Use it to make this delicious salad instead.
