Cilantro Tomato Bruschetta image

Found this in a TOH magazine. A tasty appetizer that my family and friends love. The ingredients meld together for a great-tasting appy that goes well with many different main dishes. While there are many (to many to scroll through) listed here the use of balsamic viniger makes this one a little differant so thought I'd post. Simple, pretty, but oh so good. The recipe calls for tomatoes - however I have use canned Italian tomatoes and it came out well. I think I might add some minced garlic also.
