The Italian dish is typically made in the summer withthe freshest tomatoes, and often also includesonion slices.

Youll also find delicious mozzarella balls, as well as thinly sliced basil for freshness.
Lastly, a creamy avocado-basil dressing coats all of the ingredients.
While that might sound odd, we swear it works.

This recipe proves that panzanella doesnt just need to be savory.
To save yourself some time, use leftover rotisserie chicken instead of making your own chicken from scratch.
