Heirloom Tomato Panzanella with Cucumbers and Collards
Even though Autumn has arrived, heirloom tomatoes and crisp cucumbers are still
abundantly available up North! My Heirloom Tomato Panzanella with Cucumbers and
Collards takes advantage of the abundance of these late summer crops nicely! My
Heirloom Tomato Panzanella with Cucumbers and Collards takes a traditional Italian
bread and tomato salad to new healthy heights by combining a variety of organic
heirloom tomatoes with chunks of dried organic bread with healthy doses of raw organic
collard green strips, crispy chunks of organic cucumbers and slices of organic red
onion, salad turnips and bell pepper! My Heirloom Tomato Panzanella with Cucumbers
and Collards is simply dressed with salt, pepper,red pepper flakes, olive oil and banana
vinegar! A perfect accompaniment to any grilled or roasted entrée. I served it yesterday
with a simply roasted turkey breast Provençal! Just delicious!
