Servings: 30 slices
Calories: 31kcal
Ingredients
- 3 medium tomatoes diced
- 1-2 tablespoon red onion finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 baguette French bread or similar Italian bread
Instructions
- Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and oil in a large mixing bowl. Feel free to add more or less oil. Set aside.
- Use a bread knife to slice the bread on the diagonal, making ½ or ¾ inch thick slices (about 1 to 2 cm).
- Toast the bread. I always use a griddle but feel free to use a grill pan, a skillet, a toaster, the oven, etc. Some people add some oil to the bread before toasting it, but I think that's not necessary.
- Place the bread on a platter and top with the tomato mixture.
- Serve immediately and toast the bread right before serving.
- Best when fresh, you can keep the tomato mixture in the fridge in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days and use it on recipes like seitan, vegan tacos, vegan burrito, or even sauteed kale.
Notes
- If you’re oil-free, replace the oil with some lemon juice or balsamic vinegar.
- Add more oil if you're looking for a stronger flavor.
- Any kind of tomatoes will do.
- Add any spices or herbs (fresh or dried) you want.
- Feel free to use any type of bread you have on hand, but keep in mind that not every type of bread is vegan.
