1/2 cup
chopped fresh tomato

1/2
English cucumber, chopped

good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Directions

Toast bread. Rub each side generously with the garlic clove then cut into large bite-size cubes. Toss with tomato, cucumber, and basil. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic (I ended up using about 2 T oil and 1 T balsamic). Season with salt and pepper. Eat immediately.
