Vegetables Italian Peach Panzanella 1 Review This bread salad is bursting with summery flavors: sweet peaches, ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant mint and basil—all served with crunchy ciabatta croutons. Panzanella originally comes from Tuscany. It’s usually a simple salad made with tomatoes and stale bread. I like to grill the bread in a griddle pan, to add a smoky dimension to the salad. The bread will soak up some of the lovely dressing, while still retaining a bit of crunch. Slideshow: More Salad Recipes By Anne Faber Anne Faber F&W Digital Food Awards Winner Website Anne's Kitchen Profile The photos on London-based Anne Faber's blog have a whimsical, ultra-feminine feel, with easy-to-follow recipes for things like red velvet cupcakes sprinkled with hearts. "I want people to feel like, 'Hey, if Anne can make this, I can make it, too,'" she says. That spirit will inform her new television show, Anne's Kitchen, which she is blogging about from behind the scenes. The show will air in her native Luxembourg and feature Anne touring London neighborhoods and cooking British food. "British food has such a bad reputation," she says. "So through my blog and my show, I'm going to make my home country fall in love with it."

Heat a griddle pan until it’s really hot, then grill the oiled ciabatta until charred marks appear on each side. Set aside to cool. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add to the bowl with the peaches. Tear the mozzarella into chunks and add to the bowl, together with the mint and basil. Whisk all the salad dressing ingredients together in a little bowl and pour over the salad, together with the shallots and their liquid. Tear the bread into chunks and scatter over the salad, toss the salad, season with salt and pepper, and leave it to soak for 10 minutes before serving. Just before serving, scatter pieces of parma ham over each portion. Rate it Print
