Try Kale in Your Panzanella Salad

I love kale salads in the summer. Theyre light, yet also hearty and filling. I always feel really good the rest of the day after eating a large kale salad for lunch. That must have something to do with the fact that isnt kale considered a super food?
For this spin on a traditional panzanella salad, or Italian bread salad, I used lacinato kale and sweet roasted cherry tomatoes all tossed in a very light balsamic vinaigrette.
The result is a perfect Summer lunchtime salad. The cubes of bread soak up a little of the dressing and become deliciously chewy. Even if you dont think you like raw kale, trust me --- youll be going back for seconds on this salad!
This panzanella salad is great served immediately or made a day in advance. Enjoy!
