    Absolutely delicious ! The fresh ingredients are the star. The dressing just highlights them .

    Fantastic! Wouldn't change a thing. I did use red wine vinegar because I like it and didn't have any champagne. Also used course dijon instead of the smooth Ina used on the video. Made the croutons out of a pre-sliced loaf of Trader Joe's cracked wheat sourdough bread, and it turned out great. Hubby and I both think this would be great to bring to a party, but it definitely won't go to waste as I nibble on it for a day or so.

    Very delicious. I might try to cut the recipe a little next time. It made a huge amount. Good for a party with others but not to make at home. The bread is soooooooooo good!

    Sooooo good! Saw this today and immediately went to the store. Even though everything was out of season, it was well worth the extra $. I added some feta at the end w the dressing like Ina did on the show.

    Outstanding! This Panzanella was gobbled up even by my brother who turns up his nose at anything that's not meat or potatoes. Fixed this for Thanksgiving. It was so good that I'm making it again today, two days AFTER Thanksgiving. Yum!

    I basically followed this recipe but changed a few things. I smashed some garlic cloves in the oil for the bread, simmered and removed the garlic before adding the bread. Soaked the onion in ice water for 30 minutes to remove the bite. And used a different dressing -- 1 cup basil & 1/2 cup olive oil put in blender until fine, then pushed through a fine sieve with a spatula getting all the oil through. Whisk the basil oil with 3 tsp lemon zest, 3 tbsp lemon juice and salt & pepper. I also left out the red bell pepper and added more tomato. If your looking for a little variation, this was the best salad I've ever had.

    This is the dish to make when red and yellow peppers and basil are in season, and especially if you have leftover french bread. Took it to a potluck and it was a hit!.

    Loved this salad!!!!! I had it at a friends house and couldn't wait to add it to my recipe box. Yummy and so different than the usual green salad. My picky son said he would eat it with plain bread cubes. That's easy enough to leave a few plain for him. Can't wait to bring it to my next family get together for sure. Thank you Ina!! You're fan for life in Wilsonville, Oregon

    I love this salad!...I made this for a family picnic and it was a hit with everyone! Not a morsel was left in the bowl. (always a good sign.. I was concerned about the bread being too soggy but that was not an issue. I followed the recipe exactly and loved all the bold flavors. This will be a regular on my party list. Thanks Ina. Every recipe of yours that I have tried has been delicious!

    This salad is one of the best salads I have ever had. It is light and refreshing and I wouldn't change a thing it is perfect just the way she has it written. If you don't have all you need you can add what you would like for veggies. Like once I didn't have cucumber but I did have zucchini. Very yummy thank you Ina ;
