- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dividing it evenly among the slices.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the bread is toasting, dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl of tomatoes.
Chop the basil leaves and parsley finely, then add them to the tomatoes.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Let the tomato mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Spoon the tomato mixture onto each toasted baguette slice, spreading it evenly across the tops.
Serve immediately as a fresh, vibrant appetizer or snack.
