Prepare the pesto butter, if not already done. Slice up and assemble the Caprese salad and store in a separate container. Spread the herb butter on a couple slices of French bread, sandwich style or store the butter in a small container with a few slices ready to go. Don’t forget to pack a small butter knife for smearing on the bread and a fork for the salad, too.
