The Perfect Food - Bruschetta

For the Tomato/Basil Mixture:

3-4 small crisp tomatoes, small dice
1 clove garlic, minced
15-20 basil leaves, chopped or snipped into small pieces
1 - 2 tbsp good balsamic vinegar
2-3 tbsp good olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt

For the Garlic Toasts:

1/3 French baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
1 clove garlic

Set your oven to 350.  Place your baguette slices on a cookie sheet and rub the garlic on each slice.  I like to toast that garlic with the baguette slices and eat it with the bruschetta.  It's like a little bonus.  Toast the slices in the oven for 15 minutes or so until you can smell the garlic.

Meanwhile, combine the top  six ingredients and stir.  I like to let the tomato mixture mesh for at least 15 minutes before serving on top of the baguette slices.  Each bite is a little taste of summer.  Enjoy!
