This Greek Panzanella Salad recipe is a delicious way to clean out the fridge & up your veggie intake! It's gluten-free, low FODMAP, & super EASY to make~perfect for a quick dinner or lunch.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut bread into ~ 1-inch cubes. Place on baking sheet, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over bread cubes. Use clean hands to spread oil over bread, and coat well. Bake in oven for ~ 5 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and baking sheet, and place in large salad bowl.
Add chopped salad greens, sliced tomatoes, chopped cucumber and bell peppers to bowl with bread cubes. Add chopped olives, crumbled feta, and chopped fresh herbs. Drizzle remaining olive oil over ingredients, along with lemon juice, and toss well. Top with freshly ground black pepper & salt if desired {I didn't use any salt because the feta cheese and kalamata olives provide enough flavor}.
Notes
Low FODMAP Notes: Cherry tomatoes are considered high FODMAP at 13 tomatoes per serving {per Monash Low FODMAP app}, as they have moderate amounts of oligosaccharides. If you notice cherry tomatoes cause your IBS symptoms to worsen, cut back on the amount, or substitute with common tomatoes which are low FODMAP.Panzanella Salad Options
