Basil Tomato Toast

I made up this recipe one morning over the summer when I had an abundance of fresh basil and needed to use it up.  There's a few different ways it can be made.

2 pieces of toast
1/2 avocado (optional)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
4 leaves fresh basil (or 1 tbsp dried in a pinch)
2 tbsp Italian dressing

Once the bread is toasted, if you're using avocado, cut the portion in half and spread one half on each piece of toast.  Tear up the basil leaves and sprinkle them over the bread.  Divide up the cut cherry tomatoes between the bread as well, putting them on top (if its cut side down, it sticks better).  Other types of tomato could be used, but cherry is a little sweet and the flavor works best in this recipe.  Finally, pour on the dressing.  This goes well with breakfast.
