My mother loves this!! It is only good in the summer when there are real tomatoes around. Do not try to use grocery store tomatoes. You will be sad. I am not going to put how many it serves, because people eat a lot of this.
Get one good baguette. Slice it in cubes, like if you were making fondue. Put the cubes in a bowl and, with your hands mix with 4-5 minced garlic cloves and enough olive oil to moisten. Spread on a cookie sheet and toast in a pre-heated 375 degree oven until toasty brown and fragrant.
While the bread is toasting, in a big bowl seed and chop your tomatoes (you can skin if you like)
Slice finely a sweet onion, add some chopped olives, and a lot of chopped fresh basil. If you want add some capers.
When the bread has cooled a bit add to the bowl. Moisten with red wine vinegar and some more olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
If you are serving immediately let it hang out on the counter for at least a half an hour for the flavors to develop. If not, put it in the fridge, where, if it lasts, it will be even better the next day
