# Fennel Panzanella Salad - Made In

Chef Karen Akunowicz shared her zesty, fresh take on a classic panzanella salad, perfect as a lighter (and greener!) side for heavier, beige holiday mains.

Thanksgiving tends to lean towards beige—between the turkey, gravy, and accompanying starches, a pop of color can be desperately needed (green bean casserole hardly counts).

This recipe, featured in our [2nd annual Thanksgiving menu](/blogs/thanksgiving-menu-2023) from Boston-based Chef Karen Akunowicz’s new cookbook “Crave: Bold Recipes That Make You Want Seconds” provides some much-needed color without compromising on taste. It’s verdant, zesty, fresh, and exactly what you need between heavier holiday dishes. 

_Note: This recipe was developed using Diamond Crystal kosher salt. If using Morton’s, reduce salt by half._
