Ingredients

1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 cartons (8 ounces each) miniature fresh mozzarella cheese balls, drained
2 cups cherry tomatoes
12 slices French bread baguette (1/2 inch thick), cut into quarters
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 450°. Combine salad dressing, basil, chives and pepper. Add cheese and tomatoes; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 3 hours to let flavors blend.
