by djplam

Servings:

INGREDIENTS

1 loaf Italian bread, sliced
1 large tomato, chopped finely
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 tablespoons arugula, chopped fine
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped fine
olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Toast the thick sliced Italian bread in a broiler, making sure you toast both sides.

Chop all the ingredients, except the olive oil fine, and mix together well. Add a touch or so of olive oil to the mixture after draining off some of the liquid of the vegetables.

Salt and pepper to taste. Spread a tablespoon or so on each slice of toasted bread. Serve while toast is still warm and crisp.

CHEF COMMENTS

This makes a great Hor d'ouerve or pre appetizer. And it is easy and fast to make. Taken from my cookbook, "The Old Country Cookbook", by Donald J.P. La Marca.
