As the weather has been a lot warmer recently, we’ve been looking for light meals that also keep the hunger pangs at bay, which is what we’ve found with this fruit and nut muesli tumble and panzanella recipes.
Whether you’re looking for a nice, easy way to start the day or you’ve woken up so late that you’re not quite sure whether you should be having breakfast or lunch, both of these dishes are great options.
In these instances a “tumble” means a mix and a “panzanella” refers to the salad-like meal that derives from Italy and usually consists of stale bread, onions and tomatoes and is hugely popular in the summer.
If these have whet your appetite, then make sure you take a look at some of our previous Brunch Box recipes too.
