Had some neighbors over for cocktails and I served this appetizer. Everyone loved them. I made the tomato mixture early in the day. Once my guests arrived, all I had to do was top the toasted bread with it. Easy and very tasty and I wouldn't change a thing. Another winner, CountryLady.

Made the tomato mixture ahead and let the flavors marry. I loved the addition of Balsamic vinegar and lemon to this. I usually just make mine with olive oil, garlic and basil. Had to leave out the oregano; DH does not like it. Thanks for posting, CL - will definitely make this again.

Delicious brushetta! I followed your directions, except for adding a little diced Mozzarella cheese and some black pepper. We will definitely be making this again!
