Panzanella is a casual salad. It tastes better when it is made ahead and all the flavors have an opportunity to marinate. It is a good choice if you are planning a trip to the beach or the park and you want something that travels well. If you have bread, preferably stale, tomatoes, and good olive oil, you are on your way. This version happened because I had some very ripe tomatoes and a few other odds and ends from the Farmer's Market. Best of all, I had McEvoy Ranch Basil Olive Oil, and that truly was my inspiration. This oil radiates fragrance and aroma and I knew that, even though I didn't have any fresh basil on hand, the oil would carry the day.
