Whoever said summer is not soup season has clearly never experienced Gazpacho. This vibrant refreshing soup is well known in Spain, parts of the Mediterranean and other areas of the world that boast a subtropic/tropical climate.

3. Garnish with Calabrian chili peppers or by-colored piquante peppers
4. Serve as an entree by topping with protein; grilled shrimp, fresh lobster and salmon would all work well

One of our favorite summer salads is the panzanella; an Italian bread salad created to utilize stale breads not suitable for other culinary applications; waste not want not. The bread is brought back to life once given the chance to absorb the balsamic based dressing. The addition of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, mozzarella and basil make this salad a great shareable summer classic. Amp it up with the addition of lobster, grilled fish, sliced beef, chicken or pork; cubed watermelon or grilled corn are also nice additions to a panzanella.

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 Tblsp whole grain mustard
• 2 Tblsp ground sumac
• 12 crushed cloves roasted garlic
• 1 cup olive oil, blend oil or canola oil
• S&P to taste

In the Salad:

• 4 cup torn stale bread. Crusty bread such as a baguette will work great. I used pizza dough bread and grilled naan
• 1 cup seedless cucumbers, sliced
• 2 cup tomatoes, feel free to mix it up
• 4 oz shaved red onion
• 1 cup cubed mozzarella cheese, feta or shaved parmesan work well
• 12-16 leaves hand torn basil

DIRECTIONS

2. Add torn bread to dressing and toss to allow bread a chance to absorb some of the dressing. Add remaining ingredients, lightly toss to incorporate dressing.
3. Plate family style & garnish with a sprinkle of smoked salt, Calabrian chili peppers and garlic chips
4. Transform the salad into a meal by adding protein of choice
