Caprese Panzanella Salad, grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil tossed with homemade parmesan croutons!
You can’t get more classic than a Caprese salad. The mixture of fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella are just so simple yet so delicious that you cannot go wrong.
I also absolutely love Panzanella salads because well, BREAD. There are a ton of croutons/bread in a Panzanella and I just can’t get enough!
In today’s recipe, I make homemade parmesan croutons to go along with the fresh flavors of a classic Caprese salad.
It is simply dressed with just olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic glaze.
Sometimes just plain simply is best, and that can’t be more appropriate here!
