Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 pints red grape tomatoes halved lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 16 whole fresh basil leaves
  • 1 whole baguette or crusty loaf

Instructions

  • In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic + stir, lightly frying for ~1 minute until golden. Pour the garlic + olive oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
  • Add the tomatoes, balsamic + basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt + pepper. Toss to combine. Taste and add more basil + salt as needed. Cover and refrigerate for ~1 hour.
