Tuna Panzanella Salad:
  • Baguette or ciabatta - 1/2 loaf , torn into pieces
  • Olive oil - 1 Tbsp + 1/4 cup
  • Tomatoes - 1 lb , chopped ((Use heirlooms if they're available))
  • Red onion - 1/2 , sliced

  • Maple syrup - 2 tsp
  • Balsamic vinegar - 2 Tbsp
  • Mixed greens - 6 oz

Prep

  1. Baguette - Heat oven to 400F (204C) degrees. Tear baguette into bite-sized pieces and toss with first part of olive oil and salt. Spread out onto a sheet pan, and toast for 15 to 18 minutes. If you’d prefer to do it in a grill, just place bread pieces into a grill pan. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

  2. Tomatoes - Prep as directed. Transfer chopped tomatoes to a colander and place over a bowl. Sprinkle lightly with salt and toss gently. Let sit for ~15 minutes, which will drain out some liquid.

  3. Red onions - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

  4. Basil / Cucumbers - Prep as directed. These are both easy veggies for kids to help prep.

  5. Tuna - Drain.

  6. Beans - Rinse and drain.
