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.
Step 2
Pit and roughly chop the 0.5 cup olives. Thinly slice the 0.5 red onion. Add both to the tomatoes.
Step 3
Tear the 0.25 cup basil leaves into the bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and toss to combine.
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.
Step 5
Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the toasted bread. Pile the tomato mixture onto each slice.
Step 6
Top each toast with a lettuce leaf and serve immediately, while the bread is still crunchy.
