• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should have about 12-14 pieces.

Step 3

Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 4

Toast the bread in the oven for 5 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, finely dice the tomatoes and red onion, and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Chiffonade the basil leaves (roll them up and slice them thinly), and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and onions.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the Dijon mustard mixture over the tomato mixture, and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Lightly rub the toasted bread slices with the cut side of a garlic clove for a hint of garlic flavor.

Step 10

Spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread slices, dividing it evenly among them.

Step 11
