i made this last summer and have been dreaming of it ever since. made it again tonight for my family dinner and everyone loved it. the dressing is simple and perfect, the mix of ingredients are truly amazing together. this is by far my favorite panzanella salad recipe and i’ve tried lots!

In reply to Susan. Hi Susan, I'm so glad it was a hit and that you enjoyed trying out sherry vinegar :)

Made this for a beach party last night, slight variation. The hostess wanted me to go heavy on the arugula. Followed the recipe but doubled the dressing and used 4 bunches of arugula. Delicious!! I do not usually use sherry vinegar, nice change. With most of the greens gone at the end of the night, I had a bowl which looked more like the recipe. I will make this again!!

In reply to Susanna. It's delicious once it soaks up the olive oil, vinegar, tomato juices, and seasonings (you won't feel like you're eating plain raw corn). Any decent summer corn should be fine! :)

I was going to ask the same exact thing.. if the corn was added to the salad ust like that, raw. I bever had raw corn before… I’m not sure the type of corn cobs I get around here are sweet and tender enough to be eaten raw unfortunately… I should give it at try to and see how it tastes.
I actuallt roasted lots of corns yesterday! Too bad I don’t have any raw one in the fridge right now.
I love panzarella salads, they are delicious for summer, totally agree!

In reply to Sally. Hi Sally, you could use red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar - I love sherry vinegar because it has a nice flavor that's in between both (and less strong than red wine vinegar). I tend to use it in place of red wine vinegar in any recipe. Hope that helps!

This sounds like a great salad! Always looking for different recipes . I do not have sherry vinegar; actually never bought/tried it. Is there another vinegar that is a good substitute, or is it so different, that I really should buy a bottle?

In reply to Naomi Sternberg.

correct – it’s not cooked, once it mixes with the oil/vinegar/tomato juices it’s wonderful raw!

Do you put the corn in as is? So not prepared?
