Bruschetta Summer Lunch

Bit of a different recipe to normal as this doesn't contain as much sugar as normal. In fact this contains very little sugar at all. This is a really super simple summery lunch or starter which takes about 10 minutes to make and is really fresh and quite healthy.

12 slices of bread or as many as you need as it depends on what loaf you use (I used a tomato and olive loaf but any fresh bread would work)
6 vine tomatoes
1 red pepper
1/2 an onion
2 tsp basil pesto
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp of balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp of olive oil
A handful of sliced olives
Salt
Pepper

Chop the tomatoes, red pepper, garlic, olives and onion into relatively small pieces. Put in a bowl along with the salt, pepper, vinegar and oil, mix lightly and leave in the fridge while you prepare the bread.

I have now made this in two ways, the quickest (and healthiest) way is to simply toast the slices but if you have more time or don't mind a little extra oil, I think this way is better.

Splash some oil on a frying pan or grill. Once warm place your bread in the pan (this may take a few batches) and drizzle oil on the other side of the slices. Once they are toasted on one side, flip the slices over to cook on the other.

As soon as they are nicely browned, remove from the pan and place on a serving dish. Pile on the tomato mixture generously and serve.
