This is a great summer appetizer, again using fresh basil and tomatoes. You can also use it to accompany a large salad for a light dinner.

That sounds pizzalicious! We will have to try around here. This is something the group would love. Your receipes are the best. They are tried and true. Maybe you should do a book.
