    Tomato bruschetta with sliced rainbow heirlooms on crusty grilled bread.

    This is not your standard tomato bruschetta. Usually when people think of their favorite antipasto bite, chopped tomatoes submerged in olive oil on sogging bread comes to mind.

    But bruschetta has many different variations. The definition says that bruschetta is toasted bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil, But the fun doesn't stop there and can go anywhere from fruits to vegetables and salamis. I thought it would be fun to leave these beauties sliced large to show off their pretty illustrations.

    I love eating the rainbow!

    I have been addictly in love with the tomatoes this season. I don't konw what it is, but I think eerything tastes more amazing than I can remember. The strawberries are sweeter, the corn is milkier (yes...milker) and the tomatoes, well, I think it's obviosu how much I am admiring natures bounty.

    Tomato revolution!

    This bruschetta couldn't be any easier. Grill ciabatta and rub with a cut side of garlic. The heat from the bread slowly melts the garlic and permeates the bread. For the "glue", I used avocado tahini dressing, but I am sure that your favorite pesto or cheese bread would do wonders as well. Then you slice up your rainbow heirlooms and lay accordingly. Top with basil, olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Mmm....mangia!

      Beautiful tomatoes! You know how I feel about this fruit and you've done it justice. Sadly the tomato crop has been lacking here this summer, but supposedly I'm getting some this weekend in my farm share!
