Vegan Panzanella and Italian Bean Salad










I just posted two healthy and delicious recipes in a new Vegan Dinner & Dessert video. I made vegan panzanella, or Tuscan bread salad, and Italian bean salad with cannellini and garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes, and basil. You can find the recipes and watch the video here! Both dishes turned out really well. The italian crusty loaf of bread tastes delicious with the roma tomatoes, cucumbers, basil and olive oil in the panzanella and, the bean salad was the perfect pairing. 

One suggestion to improve the panzanella: I would either sauté your bread in a pan or toast it in an oven set at 425 with some olive oil and salt until it becomes golden brown (for about 10 minutes). Do this before mixing the bread with the dressing and vegetables. This will add more flavor to your panzanella and prevent it from becoming soggy. 

Would love to hear how to the recipes turn out if you try them! Do you have a favorite vegan Italian recipe?
