Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ripe roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
6 green onions (sliced thinly)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
3 teaspoons capers
1 (4 ounce) can black olives (chopped)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons oregano
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
25 slices sourdough cocktail bread

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler on low. On a non-stick cookie sheet, arrange 25 slices of cocktail sourdough bread squares and brush one side lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Toast under broiler for approximately 3 minutes each side or until toasted lightly. Transfer toasts to serving plate.
  • In a medium bowl, gently toss together the tomatoes, onions, garlic, capers and olives. In a separate bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and the oregano.
  • May refridgerate two mixtures until ready to serve. When ready to serve, pour oil/vinegar mixture over tomato mixture and toss together gently. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Serve cold in a bowl alongside the cocktail toasts and a small bowl of freshly grated parmesan cheese for topping.
