Prepare tomato topping up to two days ahead; cover and store in the refrigerator. Toast bread slices one day ahead; store at room temperature in an airtight container.
I have made this 4 or 5 times and everyone LOVES this recipe. I didn't add the mint (not a personal favorite of mine) ....but I'm sure it's as good with as is is without. You can make it way ahead of time, so it's great for parties and gatherings. Also...it looks beautiful, just like the picture. Everyone is always impressed!
Great summer appetizer. I used pre-diced tomatoes and onions from the grocery store. I followed the recipe exactly. Wow! Great flavor. I would only say it was a little runny. I served as a dip with a slotted spoon so the bread would not get soggy. I made it two times this weekend for relaxing with friends on the deck.
Delicious! Must try for the summer - refreshing and satisfying! Actually served it as a side dish with a tenderloin - don't deny yourself this one!
