Martha's Panzanella

We have visitors in this weekend so I’ve been browsing my recipe binders (yes, I have binders for my clippings) for simple, yummy food to prepare. I was reminded of Martha's panzanella; easy to knock together and great for summer (especially when the stores or your garden get overrun with tomatoes and basil).
A few comments: 1. The recipe has a typo - the amount of garlic you need is one clove. 2. Toasting the bread works fine if you don’t want/know how to grill or broil. 3. If you want to tone down the onions a bit, slice then soak them in a bowl of cold water (pat dry before including in recipe). The oil and vinegar also will take the edge off a bit.

Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I just sent a link of your blog to all my salsa fanatics. We know good food when we see it.
Panzanella could very well be the perfect food. I'm going to cheat and add some cheese and maybe tiny ham cubes, but its so beautiful by itself.
By the way, your blog is fab. Keep up the great work.
