Panzanella is the quintessential dish to throw together when you don't want to go to the store. The classic Tuscan salad calls for only a few simple ingredients: stale bread, misc. produce, and basic seasonings.

The revitalized bread would be tossed with whatever fresh produce was available in the garden.
