Grilled Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

What can I say? Absolutely sublime, but ONLY make with the freshest, ripest tomatoes. Prep time does not include the 20 minutes of "sit" time for the tomatoes.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  loaf  French bread
• 1  lb roma tomatoes or 1  lb cherry tomatoes, cut into small pieces
• 1⁄4 cup fresh basil, rolled together and sliced julienne
• 3  garlic cloves, minced
• 2  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
•  salt

Directions

1. Place the cut tomatoes into a bowl and salt them. Let sit for 10 minutes. Add the garlic, basil and olive oil, stir to combine and let sit for another 10 minutes.
2. Cut the french bread into thick (1 inch) slices. Grill the slices until just toasted and slightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
3. Top the grilled bread slices with the tomato mixture and serve immediately.
