heirloom tomato bruschetta

We're growing heirloom tomatoes in the garden this year for the first time, and, oh my goodness, they are amazing!  Here is my favorite and easy go-to recipe that’s even really good for breakfast!    

Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ripe & firm heirloom tomatoes, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
red pepper flakes, to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt 

Let this mixture sit for at least an hour and serve on slices of toasted rustic Italian bread.

ciao! fabiana
