Grilled BLT Panzanella

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf french bread
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 oz bacon cooked and roughly chopped
  • 3 large tomatoes cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 romaine heart roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
  • For the dressing:
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt or sour cream
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Cut baguette into bite-sized chunks.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place chunks of baguette into a mesh grill pan and grill for 5-8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes until lightly charred on each side. If you don't have a grill pan you can keep the chunks larger and grill slices of bread directly on the grill for about 1 minute on each side, and then cut into smaller chunks once grilled.
  • In large bowl, combine bread, chopped bacon, tomatoes, and romaine lettuce.
  • To make the dressing, combine all dressing ingredients in small mason jar and shake until well combined.
  • Drizzle over bread and vegetables and toss well to combine.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
