Method

Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the ciabatta with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes until just starting to crisp. Remove from the heat.
In a bowl, mix together the halved cherry tomatoes, celery sticks and capers. In another small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, vodka (is using), red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, celery salt and some cracked black pepper.
Pour over the tomato mixture, then stir in the toasted ciabatta and stir to combine. Serve with lemon wedges and a scattering of fresh basil leaves.

delicious. tips

The vodka gives the dressing an extra kick and mimics the flavour of a bloody mary, but you can leave it out. Use a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce for veggies.
