(I usually double or even triple this recipe)

3 plum tomatoes, blanched then finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoon capers (use salt packed – rinse and soak for 1 hr)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper

4 slices toasted Italian bread
Fresh mozzarella

Blanch tomatoes 30 seconds in boiling water, then into ice water – remove skin and seeds

Preheat broiler. In a large bowl combine tomatoes, onion, capers, basil and garlic. Stir in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Top toasted bread with sliced mozzarella then the mixture and place on baking sheet. Broil until cheese melts. Serve hot.
