Can't believe it. I have a few too-many ripe tomatoes and way too much basil and some nice fresh garlic... um. Fixed a bit of this bruschetta for dinner and WOW - happy family!

I'm glad it was a hit! I had bruschetta tonight too... If you have any left over, it really does keep well in the fridge without losing any of the wonderful flavor of the tomatoes. Although I've been known to eat it cold, it's even better if you let it warm back up to room temperature first.

and one of those easy-to-remember formulas. One of everything:

One cup of tomato (last night, this was just exactly one tomato!)
One clove of garlic
One tablespoon basil
One tablespoon oil
One tablespoon vinegar..

How perfect is that!
Thanks again Critter!

LOL, Jo... You know, I started writing it out as a formal recipe, then I realized it only needed a couple sentences of description. It's easy to scale the recipe up, too. I have a 2 quart tupperware measuring bowl that's been in use for the past couple of weeks. I dice whatever ripe tomatoes are on hand, toss them into the container, and add however much I need of everything else.
