Panzanella Salad With Pita
Panzanella Salad is hands-down a must-try! It certainly is a statement salad that bursts so much flavor! The smallest amount of Dijon is used in the dressing, which delivers a little zing that balances out nicely with the seasoned pita croutons and steals the show! The seasoning used on the pita crouton and dressing is my Greek Seasoning concoction that is so simple to put together. It is basil-based with some other common dried herbs that you may already have on hand. As long as dried basil is used, a variation of the Greek Seasoning recipe can be made. No need to overthink it.
