PREP TIME 10 MIN. | COOK TIME 5 MIN. |TOTAL TIME 15 MIN.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1⁄4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted + chopped (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tbsp dried oregano (if fresh, chop)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch each sea salt + black pepper
Bread Ingredients
- 1 white or wheat baguette, sliced into 3⁄4-inch slices (Ikarian-Style Sourdough would work for this recipe, as well)
- 1 tbsp olive oil, grape seed oil, or avocado oil
- 1 large clove garlic, halved
Directions
- Add cherry tomatoes, olives (optional), basil, oregano, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper to mixing bowl. Toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, basil, or balsamic vinegar as desired.
- Serve with toasted baguette slices. Store leftovers separate from bread, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days, though best when fresh.
Bread Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Take garlic clove and rub on both sides of slices for extra flavor. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet.
- Bake baguette until just slightly golden brown—about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
