Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices of crusty sourdough bread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 ripe tomato diced
  • 1 tbsp red onion finely diced
  • 1 tsp fresh basil thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ lime juiced
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by brushing the olive oil evenly over both sides of the sourdough slices. In a pan set over medium heat, toast the bread until each side takes on a light golden hue. Once toasted, take the garlic clove, cut it in half, and rub the exposed side of the garlic across the surface of the warm bread. Set the bread aside and allow it to cool slightly.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil. Pour in the lime juice and balsamic vinegar, mixing until everything is well blended. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to your liking. Spoon the tomato mixture onto the cooled sourdough slices, making sure to leave the extra liquid in the bowl. Serve immediately.

Notes

If sourdough isn’t available, feel free to substitute with any crusty bread such as a baguette, ciabatta, or Turkish bread.
