Ingredients:

• 1/2 baguette - torn into 1-inch pieces
• 3 Tbsp, il Fustino Mission Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• a pinch of kosher salt
• 1/2 small, red onion
• 1, handful of basil - chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farhenheit. Place the torn bread on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle the EVOO over the bread. Use your hands to toss the bread in the oil until it is coated. Sprinkle with salt and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown, shake the pan half way through to move the bread around.

Thinly slice red onion and add to the serving bowl. Then add torn basil & chopped tomatoes and toasted baguette pieces. Toss to coat in dressing.
