In case you haven’t heard, summer is winding down, and we feel your pain. That’s why this weekend’s gameplan is all about sweet, salty, and carb-loaded goodness.

This simple panzanella (aka bread salad) dinner takes what seems like kitchen odds and ends (like a quarter of an onion and part of a loaf of bread) and turns them into a refreshing summer dinner.

The acidic juices of the cherry tomatoes cut right through the richness of the scallops—be sure to fit both on a forkful. Serve with polenta or a long pasta to carb it out.

This dish really takes off when you add the chili sauce and some cooling cucumber slices. Serve with pita, because when was bread ever a bad idea?
