Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf French bread, such as ficelle or demi-baguette, thinly sliced on the diagonal
4 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 1/2 pounds assorted fresh garden and cherry tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, plus small sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh chervil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan or preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread on grill or on a baking sheet in the oven; toast until golden on both sides, turning once. Transfer to a serving platter, and lightly brush one side of each slice with oil.
  • Roughly chop or slice tomatoes, and place in a large bowl. Add the salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Add basil and chervil, and drizzle with the oil and vinegar. Gently toss again. To serve, spoon tomato mixture over bread, and garnish with basil sprigs.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This is the key to making a great salsa. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: This will give your salsa more depth of flavor. Try using a combination of Roma, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Don't over-chop the tomatoes: You want to keep some texture in your salsa. Just give them a rough chop.
  • Add some heat: If you like your salsa spicy, add a diced jalapeño or serrano pepper. You can also add some ground cumin or chili powder.
  • Let the salsa rest: This will allow the flavors to meld together. Cover the salsa and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the salsa with your favorite crostini: Crostini are a great way to enjoy salsa. You can also serve it with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.
