Garlic-rubbed grilled bread is tossed with juicy, ripe tomatoes and basil. A great summer salad that makes a nice alternative to a tomato pasta salad. The red onions add a nice texture and flavor to this dish that comes together in under 20 minutes. When selecting the tomatoes, look for plump tomatoes that have smooth skin. You want their color to be deep and consistent. Pick up the tomato and make sure that it feels heavy for its size. Grill some chicken while you grill the bread for a perfect pairing. Garnish with extra basil.
