Salads don't have to be boring and they don't have to have a million ingredients to be full of flavor. The best part about it is that it doesn't even have to have lettuce! Panzanella salad is a traditional Italian summer salad with bread and tomatoes. Cooking Light's version is made with pita chips and tuna for a protein. The best part about this salad is that it gets better the longer it sits and it couldn't be easier to put together. All you have to do is crush the pita chips, toss in cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives and tuna, top with balsamic vinegar, lemon and mint, and mix. I assure you that this couldn't be easier and can be thrown together in minutes. The longer the salad sits, the better the flavors mesh, but the pita chips do get soggy (but that doesn't bother me). This is a great salad to entertain with as it doesn't really matter if it sits out since there's no mayo in it. It is a fresh twist on a salad, super filling, and definitely very waistline friendly. This will probably be one of my "go to" recipes because it is so fun and the mint adds a unique flavor. So for all your upcoming summer potlucks, go for something new and delicious!
