This juicy, crunchy salad-on-toast gets even more texture (and flavor) thanks to quickly fried capers and basil.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup drained, dried capers
- Kosher salt
- 15 washed, well-dried fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 large English hothouse cucumber, quartered, sliced 1/4" thick
- 1 pound heirloom tomatoes, chopped (about 3 cups)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 slices sesame-seeded Italian bread or country bread, toasted
- 2 garlic cloves, halved
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add capers and fry, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer capers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Fry basil in batches in same skillet until crisp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper-towel lined plate and season with salt. Let oil in pan cool slightly.
- Toss cucumber, tomatoes, onion, vinegar, fried capers, and 1/4 cup warm caper-basil oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Vigorously rub one side of hot toasts with garlic, then top with tomato mixture. Top with fried basil leaves and serve warm.
