Recipe: Panzanella Salad

Our panzanella salad is the perfect showcase for beautiful summer produce as well as a miraculous way to revive bread that’s gone a little stale.

We use Pain D’Avignon’s crusty and airy pane francese to lend some welcome heft to this light but flavor-packed meal and to help soak up all the juices from the ripe, peak-season tomatoes, but any rustic peasant bread or sourdough would work here.

Recipe: Peach Caprese Salad

Union Market's Peach Caprese Salad recipe

Sometimes the best thing you can do with a beautiful ingredient is let it shine in a recipe that’s simple perfection. It’s the perfect time to enjoy luscious farm-fresh peaches, and there are few better ways to relish them than in our summer spin on Caprese salad.

This recipe was created with the unbelievably fresh, Brooklyn-made mozzarella from our friends at Lioni in mind. Their creamy, decadent cheese is the perfect foil to sweet and juicy peaches, which are gently tossed with vinaigrette and then elegantly arranged with the mozzarella and fresh herbs.

These delicious, simple-to-make bruschette are the perfect way to wake your taste buds up to the fact that summer is on its way.

Start with some beautiful slices of sourdough bread, grilled just enough so that they’re crisp on the outside and still chewy within. Smear with a creamy and zesty mixture of goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and mint, and top with thinly sliced honeydew melon and a scattering of toasted pistachios.
