3.To make the dressing, in the base of a large bowl, whisk the 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Add the roasted vegetables, smoked salmon, and croutons. Toss and then gently fold in the arugula. Sprinkle on the za’atar (if using) and gentle toss to combine everything. Serve immediately.

Panzanella is an Italian bread salad, typically served in the summer with tomatoes. While this Smoked Salmon Panzanella by @Mallory.RDN strays far from the original, it packs incredible flavors into one relatively hands-off and simple dish. This recipe also works wonderfully with canned tuna, salmon, or sardines in place of smoked salmon. Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend that can be made at home with thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac or bought at a spice shop.
