Summer Savory Bruschetta Topping

My own recipe, a summertime tradition with all home-grown ingredients. No onions, but uses a couple of herbs not found in a traditional bruschetta. Dicing the tomatoes is the time-consuming part. It is a major hit with friends and family! Serve on toasted Tuscan bread slices or crackers.

Original recipe makes 3 cups

1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup loosely packed basil leaves, very thinly sliced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1 1/2 pounds roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
