- 1 teaspoon minced garlic

- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese optional
Instructions

Notes
For maximum flavor, allow the tomato mixture to sit for 20-30 minutes before serving on bread.
For the tomatoes, use on the vine, heirloom, grape tomatoes or a combination of tomatoes for added texture.
Avocado oil can be substituted for olive oil.
