1 large or 2 small ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 or 4 fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade (thin strips)*
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
Make the bruschetta: In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, minced garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir together and set aside to let the flavors meld while you make the toast.
Make the garlic toast: Toast the bread in a toaster or under the broiler until golden brown and crisp. While the toast is still hot, rub the cut side of the halved garlic all over the toast.
Assemble: Spread the mashed avocado onto the toast. Spoon over the bruschetta and drizzle on the balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
Notes
The easiest way to chiffonade basil is to stack the leaves on top of each other, roll them tightly into a cigar shape, and slice through the roll, creating thin strips.
