Delicious, of course! I made the full recipe and it was just the right amount for 2 main-course servings, rather than 4 like the recipe states. You can mix and match tomato varieties at your leisure, anything goes with this recipe - it's all good!

This is a fantastic recipe. It's probably the least healthy salad ever conceived, but that is what makes it so awesome. I typically find simple vinaigrette dressings kind of boring, but in this context, it worked perfectly. I didn't have any heirloom tomatoes on hand, so I just doubled the amount of seared cherry tomatoes. I will most certainly make this again.

my whole family loved it and the dressing goes really well; you won't miss the mayo. Alton is a genius!

I tripled the bacon, and served a little dish of mayo on the side.

I veganised the recipe by omitting the bacon. Toasted the bread on the griddle before searing the tomatoes, and added thinly sliced red onion and cucumber. Verdict? Fabulous. The two different kinds of tomatoes really make this dish- try to use fresh ones from the garden/farmer's market and you will fall in love with panzanella.

The first time I made this salad, I followed the directions to the letter and it was wonderful! Excellent backyard BBQ salad. The second time I made this salad I added one cup of arugula to it, and it was even better! Served it with grilled chicken breasts marinated in lemon and a white bean salad to make a nice patio dinner for friends. YUM!

I thought this salad wouldn't have a lot of flavor, and I'm glad I was wrong! Loved it. Adapted to my cooking style--I cook my bacon in the oven, so I also roasted the 'maters on the hot stone and then sprinkled my bread cubes on top until golden brown. I also used a dressing I had on hand instead of the plain vinaigrette. Really couldn't believe how good this was. it's a keeper for sure. Thanks so much Alton!!

I went with pancetta instead of bacon and added yellow and red bell pepper. Made for a lighter salad with more veg.

The vinegar flavor was a little strong for me, so maybe next time I'll use balsamic, or just buy a vinaigrette... but there definitely will be a next time!

By the by, porosity is a noun as well.

Invited a friend over who hates salads and he absolutely gobbled this one up! Everyone will love this recipe.
