Mustard is in almost every salad I see on this website why is that ?
I feel so fancy eating Italian food lmao.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
I have no idea where to get tuscan bread so I just chopped up a big of toasted bread :( Recommendations? I live in Slovakia.
This was crunchy deliciousness in a singluar bowl!
I love this salad! Thanks for sharing!
