I say 'suspiciously often' as I'm guessing the kitchen manager was using the panzanella as a clever way of getting rid of the very stale bread left out overnight for hungry nocturnal studiers. Not that I'm complaining - panzanella is a delicious use for all but the stalest loaves of crusty bread.
Simply cut the bread into one-inch chunks and mix with whatever veggies you have lying around - sliced tomato, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, red onion, green pepper and spinach are particularly good - then toss it all in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. By itself, it's a perfect warm-weather lunch. Add some grilled salmon or tuna for an easy dinner.
