Garlic Bread Salad (NYC style panzanella)

Masterpiece Mashup! I love garlic bread – especially my friend Amy’s amazing garlic bread – I shared the Best Garlic Bread Recipe a little while ago 🙂  Because you guys loved it (and I want an excuse to eat in cheese garlic utopia all year long) I created this recipe. 

Salad is always so yum in the summer and bread salad (or panzanella salad) is a salad on flavor steroids. My other inspiration is Ina Garten (she is my hero – I dream one day to cook with her). She makes an amazing Greek panzanella salad that I make all the time. 

LET’S COOK TOGETHER – grab your ingredients and follow along with the video!
