Panzanella Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes - Simple, Fast & Easy @shawsimpleswaps

Friends, I love pretty food!

I know, I know, I just said that last week with our pineapple post.

But, I’m not kidding.

Fresh, flavorful, fun food like this Panzanella Salad just makes me happy.

Panzanella Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes - Simple, Fast & Easy @shawsimpleswapsFirst off, I got those heirloom tomatoes on a killer sale which always makes me giddy.

Second, I used some stale bread thins that were a little past their prime to make thick, bagel crisps-eque sort of crunchy goodness.

Third, I didn’t have to run to the store!

So, as you can see, this salad is something you can surely make with most of the ingredients you’ll likely have on hand.

Plus, did you know tomatoes are filled with lycopene? 

Yep, an important antioxidant that helps keep you healthy and alive, pretty cool right?

Join the fun and whip up this Panzanella Salad and I promise, you’ll thank me later!
