Greek Style Panzanella Salad

Greek-Style Panzanella Salad has all of the ingredients of a traditional Panzanella salad. I made it Greek by adding feta cheese, orzo, olives, and Greek seasonings. 

Panzanella Salad is traditionally a Tuscan Salad made from tomatoes and dry bread that soaks up the dressing and the juices from the tomatoes. My Greek Style Panzanella salad has both tomatoes and bread, but it also has some delicious Greek-style flavors.

This is the perfect summertime salad because there is no mayonnaise and it’s easily portable to take on a picnic, to the beach or a cookout.

The salty feta cheese mixes with the tangy dressing for a creamy texture. I also use Cavender’s All Purpose Greek Seasoning in my dressing which is a mix of oregano, garlic, and other “secret” spices. I love this spice blend and use it for everyday cooking on chicken, chops and other salad dressings.
