FOR THE SALAD

FOR THE BRUSCHETTA

Put all the salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl and toss thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the broiler.

Arrange the bread on the broiler rack and broil about 2 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the bread slices and rub them with the cut side of the garlic halves. Discard the garlic.

Place a mound of salad on each serving plate, with 2 slices of bruschetta alongside.

Crusty toasted bread infused with garlic and sometimes topped with any of a variety of seasonings and seasonal ingredients, bruschetta is a classic Italian treat. I've made two changes in the traditional Tuscan version on which this recipe is based: I've omitted the typically generous addition of fatty oil and I've use as toppings a zesty salad mixture that can be spooned onto the bruschetta as desired.
