Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Brush the bread slices with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Step 3
While the bread toasts, halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a bowl with the mozzarella balls. Tear the basil leaves and add them to the bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle the salad with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with the salt, and toss gently to combine.
Step 5
When the bread is done, rub each slice with the cut garlic cloves while still warm.
Step 6
Divide the salad between plates, drizzle with the balsamic glaze, and serve with the garlic bread on the side.
Step 7
Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds or a pinch of black pepper before serving.
