We recently had a request for a ‘vegetable salad’ thread. One of my favorites is Panzanella, or Tuscan Bread Salad. A search will bring up many variations, and a lot of them use only tomatoes, cukes, and onion. I like to make it with those things; but also add some chopped Giardiniera (you can find it jarred in the grocery store) fresh red and green peppers, capers - and sometimes chopped pepperoni or salami. Chef John of ‘Food Wishes’ has a technique for making sure your bread doesn’t go all soggy:

Looking around, I found some interesting roasted vegetable salads, and I especially like this one from ‘Running to the Kitchen’, for the inclusion of beets:

Oh Darlin! You have never been there! GO! I love the place.
My bucket list....eat my way thru Italy!
Call me for Christmas in Willamsburg. I’m game!
Tell them... TERM LIMITS!
Williamsburg is before Jamestown, on the bucket list - never been there either, was always too rushed to get to the Outer Banks, to stop!
Salad is always best with meat.

These two are great with sticky rice and beer.
Olive oil and Balsamic
That looks so delicious! A salad is not a salad w/out bread/ croutons of some kind.
Have very mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, they do seem to become entrenched and self-serving. On the other, our system guarantees us the right to vote for whom we choose and believe would best serve us.
(what to do, what to do...)
I know! Let’s Eat!
My in-laws are Italian & when we visit this summer she will make that delicious salad. That picture is gorgeous!

I make it all the time with Mozzarella.
The Vanilla Corncake with Roasted Strawberries is calling MY name!
Sometimes, salad also needs some protein - salad is often my whole meal, and when it is I like a little bacon, or pepperoni, some cheese or chopped, boiled egg in it; maybe a little chicken or tuna salad. Great ‘bowl’ food.
I don’t think I’ve ever had that before. I’ll bet my parents have though.
I grew up with these things but only the old timers still celebrate these things.
Old Nick still makes potato pizza but that aint salad LOL
Hell he cant afford scungilli.
That ol Dago uses Hungarian wax peppers on pizza
