  • Ingredients
A rough take on panzanella salad combining tomatoes, capsicum, basil and a shallot vinaigrette with grilled garlic toasts and a mashed cottage cheese spread

Gluten-friendly option: bread is replaced with GF bread.
1. Peel and slice shallot. Combine in a bowl with 1 tsp dried Italian herbs, 3 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

2. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash drained beans with cottage/ricotta cheese, lemon juice and 1/2-1 crushed garlic clove. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. Shave asparagus using a peeler. Chop tomatoes and capsicum, place in a large bowl.

4. Slice bread and rub both sides with olive oil. Toast on a griddle pan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until crunchy and golden. Cut 1 garlic clove in half, rub cut side over bread.

5. Add cabbage to chopped vegetables and toss with shallot vinaigrette.

6. Arrange bread slices on a plate with cheese spread. Top with chopped salad, scatter with sliced basil and season with cracked black pepper.

Notes:
