Bread salad is a popular Summer dish, but that doesn't mean it can't be modified for Fall. Instead of the classic tomatoes and basil, this recipe calls for a more seasonal butternut squash and sage. To cut down kitchen prep, bake the butternut squash and the bread ahead of time.

This all-purpose recipe is a practical rendition of the traditional Italian bread salad. If you have leftover beans or vegetables to use, or vegetables you want to showcase from your backyard, then this panzanella is perfect for you.
Here's a great tip I learned from my bread purveyor: Use a quality baguette that's a day old, as stale bread makes for crustier panzanella than fresh bread does.

A few weeks ago, I raved about a new Italian cookbook called A16 Food + Wine that has a delicious (and unique) meatball recipe. Well, I'm still learning great things from it. This week, I made a panzanella with tuna and capers, another item on the menu at the launch party.

Fresh Italian flavors inspire my Summer solstice dinner party menu. To maximize time spent with guests, all of the food can be made in advance or cooked outdoors on the grill. A buffet of salumi, flatbreads, olives, and store bought spreads will await my guests.

One of my favorite recipes is Michael Chiarello's winter panzanella with mushrooms. I hadn't really put much thought into doing a Spring variation, but when I found this recipe for just that, I couldn't help but be excited! This Spring panzanella is filled with fresh asparagus and crunchy croutons.

Croutons are high up on my list of favorite salad toppings. There is something about crunchy bread moistened by a tangy vinaigrette that I'm crazy about. Naturally, I'm a huge fan of bread salads or panzanella as they are known in Italy. 
Panzanella is an Italian bread salad usually made with fresh tomatoes, basil, and day old bread. I enjoy this side in the summertime when the tomatoes are at their ripest. This recipe is a version of panzanella, that's made with wild mushrooms instead of tomatoes.
