  • Adjust salt and lemon juice according to taste preference.
  • For extra crunch, you can toast the bread in a pan with a little olive oil or butter.
  • Cherry tomatoes can be sliced or halved for easier eating.
  • Red pepper flakes add a nice subtle heat; omit if you prefer mild flavor.
  • To make it vegan and vegetarian-friendly, avoid adding non-plant-based toppings.
