Panzanella is a Tuscan bread salad that’s widely enjoyed in the summer, when tomatoes and vegetables are at their peak. We pair it here with simply grilled, delicious veal loin chops for an Italian feast that’s fresh and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 4 Veal Loin Chops
- 1 Tbsp + ¼ cup olive oil, divided
- 2 cups day old bread cut into cubes
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 radishes, thinly sliced
- ½ cup olives, pitted and chopped
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 Tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Toast bread cubes for 5 minutes until just beginning to turn golden.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub veal chops with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until you have reached desired doneness. Tent with foil and allow to rest for 8-10 minutes.
- In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add remaining olive oil, sherry vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Shake vigorously until dressing is combined.
