Tomatoes are The Focal Point Of So Many Wonderful Topping combinations. The mixtures can be naked or lightly dressed with a vinaigrette and topped or not with a shaving of cheese. If you’re a tomato purist, simply top a charred piece of sourdough bruschetta with a juicy sliced off-the-vine tomato with a sprinkle of sea salt and drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. When tomatoes and basil are at their peak, you’ll want
to devour two or three of these tangy sourdough bruschetta. See our Bruschetta Toppings sidebar for more ideas.
