Can you make panzanella ahead of time?
Panzanella is a good choice for entertaining because you can make it in advance—or if you like your Panzanella crispy, make the dressing and croutons and prepare the vegetables ahead of time but keep them all separate. Toss everything together just before serving. It also packs well for a picnic or a workday lunch.

What to serve with Panzanella
Panzanella is great as part of a buffet featuring Italian salads and antipasto items. It makes a wonderful first course for an Italian dinner, and it’s also a perfect side-dish for grilled chicken, steak, or seafood.
