The classic Panzanella Salad has its roots in Tuscany, Italy, dating back to the 16th century. Traditionally, it consists of stale bread, tomatoes, onions, and basil, all tossed in a simple vinaigrette. The addition of avocado slices brings a creamy texture and a buttery flavor to this timeless dish. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Ina Garten have popularized this variation, adding a modern twist to the traditional recipe. The best version of this dish can be found in Tuscany, where the ripest tomatoes and freshest avocados are used. The key to a perfect Panzanella Salad lies in using high-quality, crusty bread and perfectly ripe avocados.
