Thanks to using the broiler, this easy yet beautiful-looking twist on a traditional salad comes together in under 15 minutes. All you have to do is sprinkle the tomato halves with breadcrumbs and broil until the topping is browned, which should take about 4 minutes. Just keep an eye on things as they go depending on the strength of your broiler. After the tomatoes are done, simply whisk together some balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss with the arugula, basil, and almonds, then enjoy with the tomatoes. The extra step with the crunchy tomatoes really puts this recipe over the top flavor-wise.
