Rustic Bread Salad with Tomatoes

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil with medium-high heat. Add garlic cloves and sauté for one to two minutes.

Step 2

Place baguette pieces in the pan and sauté for another 5 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 3

Lower heat to medium and add red onion. Sauté for two more minutes.

Step 4

Add two cups of the tomatoes (half of the tomatoes) and sauté for less than a minute. (Make sure its less than a minute - otherwise your bread will get soggy and you don't want that!)

Step 5

Remove tomato bread mixture from the pan and transfer to a bowl. Add remaining tomatoes, vinegar, and capers. Toss to combine.

Step 6

Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 7

Serve immediately.
