Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil

2 tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 medium tomato , cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)

1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber

1 medium red onion , thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon drained capers

2 cup Pepperidge Farm® Whole Grain Seasoned Croutons

Beat the oil and vinegar in a large bowl with a fork or whisk. Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, basil and capers and toss to coat.

Add the croutons just before serving and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Supplies you’ll need:
gift box template + bow tie / necktie template

a printer

cardstock for the box and tie(s)

scissors

a ruler

a pen or pencil

glue dots

double-sided tape

1/4 inch circle hole punch (for bow tie box)

DIRECTIONS
Print the box template onto lightweight cardstock, cut out along the solid lines, and assemble according to the directions found in the template file. Place your gift in the box, and use double-sided tape or glue dots to securely close the flap. Print bow tie/necktie templates, cut out, and trace onto your choice of patterned or solid colored paper. Cut out the tie(s) and attach to the box flap using double stick tape or glue dots. If making the bow tie box, punch out three 1/4 inch “buttons” using a hole punch, and attach to the front of the box using glue dots (small Zots are the perfect size).
