This tomato bruschetta recipe might be my favorite thing EVER. This recipe holds a special place in my heart because it was hands down the first recipe I learned to make/cook.

Instructions
Begin by coring and chopping your tomatoes and add in a bowl.
Add in your olive oil, salt, pepper and finely minced garlic cloves. Lastly, add in your sliced basil and dash of lemon juice if you'd like but that is optional. Toss and marinade for 20-30 minutes in the fridge or more until ready to eat!
While your tomatoes are marinating, slice and toast your bread. Once toasted, and tomatoes are ready to serve, take you second garlic clove and rub your garlic over the toast, top with your bruschetta, season and adjust with flakey salt and serve!
