Sourdough Panzanella Salad (DF, V, NF)

Ever since moving to Nashville, I’ve been on a serious sourdough kick. Why?

1. Since I’m not 100% gluten-free, but prefer to eat GF 75% of the time – I like to include breads that contains less gluten. Sourdough contains less gluten due to the fermentation process.

2. Nashville has some of the BEST sourdough. Who knew?! My all-time favorite one is from Dozen Bakery.

Anyway, it’s hard to eat a whole loaf between Dubs + I before it gets stale or moldy. This is how this delicious, summer recipe came to be. It’s easy to throw together and tastes amazing. Highly recommend bringing this to your next BBQ!
