Panzanella Salad Recipe.

Ingredients:

3 TBSPs extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
3 TBSPs fresh lemon juice or sherry vinegar, more as desired
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 TSP Dijon mustard
1/2 cup sliced red onion
Kernels from 2 ears of fresh corn
10 small or 5 medium tomatoes, sliced into wedges
16 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
3 peaches, pitted and sliced
4 to 5 cups cubed crusty bread
1 cup chopped fresh basil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup roasted chickpeas, optional

Recipe Instructions:

In the bottom of a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice or vinegar, garlic, mustard, 1/2 TSP of salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
Add the onion, and corn and toss until coated.
Let sit for 10 minutes while you prep everything else.
To the bowl, add the tomatoes, peaches, bread, and half the basil.
Toss to combine, adding more olive oil if the bread is too dry, and more lemon, salt, and pepper, to taste.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes so that the juices can soak into the bread.
Give it a toss, then top with the remaining fresh basil and the chickpeas, if using.
