Panzanella Salad is great for a light summertime dinner. This salad is delicious, and has tomatoes and spinach as two key ingredients. I added some crunchy homemade croutons made from sourdough bread and poured a homemade Italian vinaigrette dressing over it just before serving. The vegan feta cheese gave the salad a tart, Mediterranean taste.
