It's like having a 5 star salad from italy sent to my home but I'm the cheif haha, couldn't be happier with how this turned out !

Great panzanella only ever had it once when I went to Italy for a small trip due to business and never got the chance to taste its glory again up until today :)

Whitney Oalmann

Never would've tried this out if it wasn't for my current "healthy" diet and have to say it's a lot better than the microgreen salad for sure that one was just overwhelmingly dry.

Laney Wiedmer

Feta cheese and mozzarella go hand in hand so went with both and ate this with a side of red wine..lets just say I had a delightful evening.

Zaria Vinette

Another brilliant recipe i'm blown away..Nina serves the most high quality meals out there to us on a silver plater!!!

Add a bit of sundried tomato oil to the top and thank me later (-;

Okay this is a total winner but needs a bit of vinegar to make it perfect.

There's SOOO much going on in this bowl that make it worth the time and effort because once you get a bite you're gonna be devouring all the contents in under 2 minutes lol.
