Butter Bean Panzanella Salads

with Garlicky Tomatoes & Basil

What could possibly make a seasonal salad of crisp cucumber, peppery red onion, garlicky roasted tomatoes, and fresh basil even better? Bread. Bread is always the answer! Panzanella salad, hailing from central Italy, features chunks of toasted, hearty bread, soaked in a flavorful vinaigrette. For a high-protein, fiber-full version of this classic spring and summer salad, we incorporate creamy, mild butter beans to the mix.
