Winter Panzanella Salad w/ Kale & Delicata Squash

This beautiful and tasty holiday bread salad is the perfect addition to any harvest feast! Make this Winter Panzanella with kale, delicata squash, pomegranate, gluten-free sourdough, and a vinaigrette. 

 

How To Make This Panzanella Recipe 

Traditional panzanella calls for no greens, just tomato, basil, and an artisan bread. This panzanella recipe calls for kale, pomegranate, and delicata squash in addition to a quality gluten-free sourdough bread. 

These ingredients are often found in winter dishes. The panzanella's green and red colors are perfect for the holidays. 

Our vinaigrette uses a blend of warm comforting ingredients like maple syrup, olive oil, balsamic, dijon, and lemon. This is a bit more sweet than traditional panzanella vinaigrette recipes, like you'd find in our Spring Panzanella.
