Ingredients For strawberry panzanella salad

  • 4 c
    day old bread cubed (preferably italian or a rustic sturdy loaf)
  • 1 lb
    fresh strawberries
  • 1 c
    greek yogurt (plain)
  • 4 sprig
    mint
  • 1 c
    packed brown sugar (split into 1/2 cup servings)
  • 4-6 Tbsp
    melted butter
  • 1 tsp
    vanilla

How To Make strawberry panzanella salad

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Toss remaining sliced strawberries and cooled bread chunks in the strawberry sauce you just made. Place in bowl or martini glass.
  • 4
    Blend the yogurt with the vanilla and top your servings of strawberry and bread with it.
  • 5
    Add a mint sprig and a little more strawberry sauce. Enjoy!
