So great, so simple to put together, and this recipe really shows off the garden's gifts of tomatoes, basil, and the freshness of it all. I didn't change one thing, other then to add some nice thinly sliced green onion (scallions) - but would be so good without it too. Thanks Rita for another golden classic!

I've been trying recipe after recipe trying to find one that will make perfect bruschetta. This is it! I added a wee bit more balsamic, but that was my only change. Thank you for the compliments this garnered me after I whipped up a romantic, Italian dinner on the fly for my other half.
