Summer on Toast

1. 1

   If using the basil, place it in the bottom of a medium glass bowl.

2. 2

   Use the tomato and plum slices (mixing them is okay) to build layers on top of the basil (if using) in the bowl; sprinkle with a little of the balsamic vinegar between the layers as you work.

3. 3

   Use most of the vinegar on top.

4. 4

   Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature; during that time, the vinegar will mingle with the fruit juices to form a luscious sauce.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, lightly toast the bread.

6. 6

   Divide the fruit mixture among individual serving bowls.

7. 7

   Spoon a bit of the mixture onto the bread and eat a bite at a time; repeat as needed, so the bread does not get soggy.
