Garlic Bread Panzanella Salad
Welcome to the ultimate spring salad - our garlic bread panzanella. We've taken this Tuscan staple and given it a BOSH! makeover, using garlic bread instead of sourdough to whack it up a notch - as who doesn't love garlic bread? Made in one-pot for ease, it’s packed full of different textures and tastes, combining the crunch of toasted garlic bread with the juiciness of mixed tomatoes and the richness of butter beans. Check out the recipe below!
