Panzanella is typically an Italian summer salad with onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and soaked stale bread. It's similar to the Lebanese salad fattoush.

Tips for this Cara Cara Orange Panzanella

• Once you add the bread, there's no going back (it gets saturated quickly), so don't add it until you are 10 to 15 minutes away from serving.
• If you can't find cara cara oranges, just swap for another kind of citrus. I made this with blood oranges as well and it's equally great!
