- 1 telegraph cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
- 4 celery stalks, diced and blanched
- 100mL good olive oil
- 50mL good red wine vinegar

- 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 1/2 bunch basil, roughly torn

Method
Place the tomato, onion, cucumber and celery in a large bowl, season lightly and add the olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Toss well and leave to stand for at least 20 minutes.
Finely slice the bread into thin rounds (crostini), brush with a little extra oil and bake in a moderate oven for 8 to 10 mins until golden. Drain the goat's cheese and roughly crumble.
About 5 mins before serving, break the crostini in halves and toss with the salad. Just before serving, add the parsley, basil, goat's cheese and capers.
Season to taste and serve immediately.
