Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice the 2 large tomatoes and place in a bowl. Add 0.5 tsp salt and let sit while you prep the rest, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Pit and roughly chop the 0.5 cup olives. Thinly slice the 0.5 red onion. Add both to the tomatoes.

  3. Step 3

    Tear the 0.25 cup basil leaves into the bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and toss to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Toast the 4 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Rub each with a cut garlic clove if you have one.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the toasted bread. Pile the tomato mixture onto each slice.

  6. Step 6

    Top each toast with a lettuce leaf and serve immediately, while the bread is still crunchy.
