Panzanella Salad

I saw this Tuscan salad for the first time while watching an episode of Food Network's search for The next Food Network Star.  A contestant made this delicious salad and the judges loved it.  A few episodes later, she made another panzanella salad and was voted off for being "too one note."  Well, if she was one note, she was singing my tune!  This salad is the perfect blend of "old" and "new" ingredients.  The aged French bread mixed with fresh tomatoes basil, and mixed greens makes for the perfect salad combination.  The Food Network judges may be looking for variety, but I could eat this panzanella salad every day of the week!
