In: Recipes

Wishing you safe travels and joyful reunions this week, wherever your holidays take you or whatever you’re celebrating. Between the cookies and roasts and mid-day snacks, this panzanella paired with a smooth, full-bodied Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay is a welcome reprieve from the other heavy, sugar-laded dishes we’re eager to indulge in between now and the New Year. What’s more, this winter panzanella recipe can be altered based on what veggies you happen to have in your fridge. Don’t have fennel on hand? Try grilled onion or brussels sprouts!
