Summer Panzanella Salad

July 3, 2019 by pamflo

Panzanella is a popular Tuscan chopped salad traditionally made with really ripe tomatoes, toasted bread cubes and red onion. It sometimes includes cucumbers and is simply dressed with olive oil and vinegar. In my summer salad, cornbread croutons add a modern twist to a combination of avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers and freshly chopped basil. Slivered raw red onion adds some bite, but is optional. Dress this salad with extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, and season it with salt and […]

Cornbread Panzanella

Cornbread Panzanella Salad

June 30, 2016 by pamflo

Inspiration for a blog post comes from many different places. Recently, I sat down with a box of folders filled with recipes from my past cooking classes and culinary events. While casually perusing my files, I quickly realized that this cornbread panzanella salad was one of the most popular dishes. With fresh avocado, toasty cornbread and summer tomatoes this salad will become a favorite. Enjoy the July 4th holiday! 4 cups cornbread- preferably a day old (store-bought or you can make your own if time permits), cut into 1/2-inch […]

Sesame Soba Noodle Salad

May 26, 2016 by pamflo

There’s a limit to how many lettuce-based salads one can eat in the course of a week. It was time to add a new healthy, flavorful salad to the rotation. My industrious intern wanted to try this recipe and it turned out to be a winner. You can modify both the salad and the dressing to suit your mood. Roast chicken left over from a previous meal, combined with the soba noodles and some seasonal vegetables made the perfect cold salad. This dish is terrific for […]

Bibb Lettuce Salad with Parmesan Crisps

May 22, 2014 by pamflo

Fresh, crisp greens with a creamy, mustardy dressing. Sometimes there’s nothing better than a beautifully made salad! This is a really simple salad and the combination of the tangy dressing and crunchy lettuce are a winner. The frico or parmesan crisps are the big bonus. Frico is just a mound of fresh parmesan cheese that’s baked and becomes this delicious, lacy crisp. If the creamy dressing is not for you, then sprinkle the salad with good olive oil and a squeeze of […]
