Ingredients

  • 3 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice about 1 large lemon
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup chopped fresh herbs such as basil and oregano
  • 1 loaf Italian bread sliced diagonally into 2-inch slices

Instructions

  • Dice tomatoes into desired size (we used grape tomatoes sliced in half). Slice red onion and place in bowl with tomatoes.
  • Juice lemon over tomatoes, then add ¼ cup evoo, salt, and pepper. Allow flavors to marinate together by covering and refrigerating for at least 4 and for up to 24 hours. Brush remaining evoo over bread and grill for 2 minutes on high, until bread is golden. Cut bread into large chunks.
  • Place tomatoes and onions in a serving bowl. Add fresh herbs and top with toasted bread. Alternatively, you can keep bread sliced and top with marinated tomatoes to serve bruschetta style, topped with fresh herbs.
