Ready to make your own Grilled Panzanella Salad? Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop over medium heat.
2. Prepare the Bread: Toss the cubed bread with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the cubes on the grill or grill pan.
3. Grill the Bread: Grill the bread for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool.
4. Grill the Vegetables: Drizzle the bell peppers and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them for about 5-8 minutes or until they’re tender and nicely charred. Remove from the grill and let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grilled vegetables, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and torn basil leaves.
6. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
7. Toss the Salad: Add the grilled bread cubes to the bowl with the vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently until well combined.
8. Serve: If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese or sliced mozzarella for added richness. Adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Following these steps will ensure your Grilled Panzanella Salad is both delicious and visually appealing!
