Tomato Bruschetta

INGREDIENTS:
10 cherry or large grape tomatoes
3 Tbsp evoo
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
16 fresh basil leaves shredded
3 cloves of garlic peeled
8 slices of fresh ciabatta bread
salt and pepper to taste

Chop tomatoes into small pieces. Place in a bowl with evoo, balsamic vinegar and basil leaves. Mince one of the cloves of garlic and add to bowl. Toss to mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Allow flavors to meld while you cook the rest of dinner.
Cut remaining garlic cloves in half and with cut side down, rub over both sides of lightly toasted ciabatta bread. I like to serve the bruschetta in a bowl with at spoon and the bread to the side so that people can construct their own. Be sure you eat this with loved ones who won't mind your garlicky breath! :)
