This is one of several iterations of tomato salad in this book. What can I say, I love tomatoes. This version is a very simple sort of panzanella, an Italian tomato and bread salad. The winter varieties of tomato are flavourful even in the colder months and have a firmer texture. I’d recommend making the sauce and the fried bread elements first because the final assembly of this dish is rapid and should only happen immediately prior to consumption for maximum freshness and impact.
