Dina Deleasa Instagram – Panzanella is an Italian salad made with stale bread, usually sold chunky tomatoes, some red onion , it’s a favorite of mine! Adding in the asparagus gives this version a little “spring” in its step. Maybe this will inspire the weather?!
The loose recipe for the components to this dish below!
1 tbsp Olive Oil
¾ cup asparagus, cut into thirds
1 shallot, thinly sliced
kosher salt
black pepper
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup fresh mozzarella, torn
Old Italian Bread or Sourdough
2 thin slices of prosciutto cooked and chopped (as if making bacon!)
Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
¼ olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp dijon mustard
½ tbsp shallots chopped
½ tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp pepper
*Whisk together ingredients until well combined (emulsified) taste for seasoning.
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute for one minute, then add your asparagus to the pan. Continue to saute until asparagus becomes tender for about 4 minutes.
In that same pan add a drizzle of olive if the pan is dry. Then add the bread cubes, over medium/low heat. Saute the bread cubes until they become golden brown, tossing the cubes gently every so often. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Add the warm sautéed asparagus to a larger bowl, along with the bread cubes and cherry tomatoes. Pour the dressing over top and gently toss. Add in the torn mozzarella and crispy prosciutto, toss gently once more, and serve.
