Typically, panzanella is made with tomatoes and dressing-soaked bread cubes. Here, the salad goes sweet and savory but keeps the same look with ripe watermelon. Spring for your favorite bread—it has a starring role in this dish. Serving the salad with grilled pork tenderloin makes a healthy dinner that's simple enough for weeknights.

Prep

Ready In
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Season pork with chili powder, pepper and salt. Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 140°F, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Grill bread until charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch pieces.

Refreshing twist on panzanella for an easy weeknight meal. I increased the salad by 50% just because it sounded good. Glad I did.
