Panzanella or Fattoush? That is the question. In reality, they are pretty much the same salad…and yet, not. That makes no sense, does it? At their roots, they are both bread salads, with good veggies tossed in. But it is all about the bread or the pita, and with this version, you don’t have to choose between the two…Fattoush-azella!

Pasta and bean salads are great for summer. Because this doesn’t have any mayonnaise in the dressing, it holds up well when the sun sizzles and you don’t want to.

It’s that time of year, when the garden’s abundance is at its pinnacle and the summer heat is beyond The Goddess’s tolerance. But, you still want to eat. This is the perfect meal to be the heat and use some of those veggies—cucumbers, radishes, onions, zucchini, corn and of course, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes!
