Transform a stale loaf of bread into this refreshing-as-ever, strawberry panzanella. Also referred to as bread salad, panzanella is a gorgeous mixture of fresh, juicy tomatoes, herbs, olive oil, and vinegar. In this iteration, strawberries add a pop of sweetness, and fresh mozzarella rounds out the salad with milky richness. Toss with a little more olive oil, vinegar and salt if needed just before serving.
