Ingredients (serves 4)
250g baby roma tomatoes, diced small
¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced

1 tsp Geraldton wax needles (finely chopped) or zest of 1 lemon
6–8 baby bocconcini balls, sliced into rounds
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Pinch of sea salt & cracked black pepper
4 slices of sourdough or ciabatta, toasted

Method

Mix the topping: In a bowl, combine the baby Roma tomatoes, red onion, basil, Geraldton wax (or lemon zest), bocconcini, and a crack of black pepper.
Toast the bread: Grill or toast the bread slices until golden. Rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Assemble: Spoon the tomato mixture generously over the bread. Drizzle the olive oil–balsamic dressing over the top.
