GRILLED PANZANELLA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND CHICKEN



Grilled Panzanella with Italian Sausage and Chicken image

This is a summertime favorite of my family. The grilled bread, vegetables, and meats add that smoky char while the dressing adds the tang and sweetness. Serving over arugula gives the salad that peppery finish we all love. By not mixing the arugula into the dressing, you can save any leftovers and just warm slightly and then serve over the arugula.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and bell peppers.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad together. Use a good quality olive oil, vinegar, and herbs.
  • Let the salad rest before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the bread to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

Grilled panzanella is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
