Tuscan farmers never throw stale bread away. They make a delicious salad with it instead. The end of summer is the best time to try panzanella because apart from bread it needs fresh tomatoes, onions, melons or watermelons, cucumbers, and prosciutto. Season these delicious things with olive oil and vinegar and you'll have the taste of summer in Tuscany. It is one of the best salads made with simple fruits and vegetables.

Sometimes panzanella is made with tuna and capers or other ingredients, which means this salad is never boring and may surprise you with a new twist.
