  • Flaky salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Dice the tomatoes, discarding the watery seeds

  2. Mix with torn basil, half the olive oil, the vinegar, salt and pepper

  3. Let stand for 10 minutes so the flavors come together

  4. Toast or grill the bread until crisp

  5. Rub the hot toast with the cut side of the garlic and drizzle with the remaining oil

Tips

  • Vegan as written; contains gluten
  • Top the bread at the last moment so it stays crunchy
  • Out of season, cherry tomatoes usually taste better than large ones
