End Of Summer Panzanella Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Add the bread cubes to a medium bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
• Spread the bread cubes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the shallot, garlic, mustard, vinegar, remaining teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Slowly drizzle in ¼ cup olive oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the corn and cook, stirring, until charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
• Transfer the corn to a large bowl and add the toasted bread cubes, tomatoes, mozzarella, and dressing. Toss well. Add the basil and toss again to incorporate.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Grill the corn, turning often to char all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly before cutting the kernels from the cobs. Transfer the kernels to a large bowl.
• Cut the bread into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. Liberally drizzle both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if needed, grill until charred and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1-inch cubes and put in the bowl with the corn.
• Cut the tomatoes. If using large heirlooms cut into 1/2-inch dice. If using grape or cherry heirlooms, halve the smaller ones and quarter the larger ones. Transfer to the bowl with the corn and bread, along with the cucumbers, basil, chives and vinegar. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and taste for seasoning, adding more vinegar if needed. Serve immediately.
