Notes

  • Tomato mixture can be made up to 3 days before serving.
  • If your tomatoes are very watery, feel free to get rid of some of it.
  • The serving size is based off of serving the topping with my crostini recipe. The tomato basil mixture will make enough to top 50 pieces of crostini. So 1 serving is about 4 pieces of tomato basil topped crostini.
