Italian Breakfast Panzanella

An Italian Inspired Delight 

I’m always on the lookout for new recipes that healthy and easy to make,  but I also find variety to be important. Usually I explore all types of cuisine to find what I’m looking for: American, Indian, Asian, Mexican, etc. Because I was raised in an Italian household, I often find myself gravitating towards Italian food, but I’ve been very conscious about expanding my horizons because I want my daughter to enjoy a wide variety of cuisines; however, this Italian girl just couldn’t resist this recipe for Italian Breakfast Panzanella. It is easy to make and packed with flavor. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
