An Heirloom tomato salad with grilled bread, basil, bell peppers, red onion, capers tossed in
vinaigrette. A great way to use up your garden vegetables and serve a fresh taste for any patio party.

Directions
Heat stove-top grill. Brush bread with olive oil, sprinkle with salt. Grill for 5-8 minutes on
each side, until nicely browned.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk vinaigrette ingredients
together.

In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, red onion, basil, and capers. Toss
with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Season liberally with salt and pepper and arrange the vegetables
on a platter.

Drizzle the bread with remaining vinaigrette and add to the platter. Serve
immediately or allow the salad to sit for about 1/2 hour for the flavors to blend.
