1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil

Freshly ground pepper

For the Bruschetta:

DIRECTIONS

FOR THE TOPPING:
In a bowl, combine all the topping ingredients, including pepper to taste. Toss well, cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours or for up to 2 days to allow the flavors to blend.

FOR THE BRUSCHETTA:
Preheat a broiler or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill. Arrange the bread slices on a rack on a broiler pan or on a grill rack and broil or grill for 2 minutes. Turn the bread slices over and continue to cook until golden, 1-2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, rub a cut side of the garlic clove over one side of each warm bread slice and then brush with 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil.

Mound an equal amount of the topping on the garlic-rubbed side of each bread slice. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
