- 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
To Toast the Bread
- In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil and then add the bread cubes. Sprinkle with salt and cook over medium heat, tossing frequently, until the bread is toasted and golden brown (about 7-10 minutes.) Remove from the heat and set aside.
To make the Vinaigrette
- In a small bowl, add all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette and whisk together until well blended.
To finish the Salad
- About 30 minutes before serving, in a large salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber slices, red and yellow peppers, onion, basil and capers.
- Add the bread cubes and vinaigrette and toss to coat.
- Allow the bread to sit for 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
