Lobster Panzanella Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Add the bread and salt; cook over low to medium heat, tossing frequently, for 10 minutes, or until nicely browned. Add more oil as needed.
• For the vinaigrette, whisk all the ingredients together.
• In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, yellow pepper, red onion, basil, and capers. Add the bread cubes and toss with the vinaigrette. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Serve, or allow the salad to sit for about half an hour for the flavors to blend.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Whisk 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the vinegar, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Toss in the tomatoes, then set aside to marinate.
• Trim the ends off the zucchini and yellow squash, then cut each lengthwise into quarters. Drizzle the zucchini, corn and onion with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of pepper. Brush the bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt.
• Grill the zucchini, corn and onion until crisp-tender and charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes per side for the zucchini and onion, and 6 to 8 minutes for the corn. Grill the bread until toasted and charred, about 2 minutes per side.
• Slice the zucchini on the bias into 1-inch thick pieces, roughly chop the onion and cut the corn kernels off the cob. Cut the bread into 1-inch pieces. Transfer all to the same large bowl with the tomatoes. Add the torn basil leaves, then toss until the salad is well dressed and combined. Season with more salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter, drizzle with more olive oil and top with ricotta salata or feta if using.
