How to Make Strawberry Panzanella Salad

Step-by-Step

Toss cubed bread in melted butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes or until bread is crisp. Remove from oven. Bread will continue to crisp on as it cools.
Take about 1/2 cup of the sliced strawberries and add them to a bowl with 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Macerate (grind) the two together until the strawberries create a syrup. It's ok if there are still hunks of strawberry in the sauce. You can adjust the amount of sugar to fit your family preference and raw sugar works well too.
Toss remaining sliced strawberries and cooled bread chunks in the strawberry sauce you just made. Place in bowl or martini glass.
Blend the yogurt with the vanilla and top your servings of strawberry and bread with it.
Add a mint sprig and a little more strawberry sauce.
Enjoy!
