Nibble on this tasty, easy-to-tote snack at your next picnic or poolside party. Just be sure to note: If you're taking the crostini for a picnic, you need to pack the artichoke mixture and bread slices in separate containers, and store the artichoke mixture in a cooler packed with ice to keep it chilled. The best part of this recipe is that the only cooking required is toasting the bread, which takes just 10 minutes in the oven. Otherwise, you simply stir together the artichoke hearts, plum tomatoes, fresh basil, black olives, and olive oil in a bowl to make the topping. Spoon the topping over the toasted bread and your appetizer or snack is set to be served.
