Grilled Chicken Panzanella

Grilled chicken turns this summertime salad into a main course. Toasting the bread on the grill lets it sop up all of the juice from those farm fresh tomatoes without getting too mushy.

Classic Panzanella Salad (Tuscan-Style Tomato and Bread Salad)

This is one of my favorite salads of all time and an absolute classic: corn grilled until it's smoky and sweet, then tossed with ripe end-of-season tomatoes in a light lemon and olive oil dressing.
