One of the most well-known dishes from Italy’s Tuscany region is the bread salad known as panzanella. It’s a vibrant chopped mixture of toasted or stale bread, onions, and tomatoes, with classic panzanellas using peak-season tomatoes. For the rest of the year, there are so many other ingredients that can be tossed into a panzanella that’s just as tasty.
This Tuscan chickpea panzanella bowl is a year-round winner, and it all starts with a can of Bush’s Sidekicks® Rustic Tuscany® Chickpeas. These ready-to-eat chickpeas are cooked in a slow-simmered sauce inspired by all the bright flavors of the Mediterranean. Since they’re ready to eat right out of the can, all you have to do is toss them with toasted bread, red onion, some veggies, and mozzarella cheese for an easy lunch or dinner bowl that has tons of flavor and checks so many nutrition boxes.
