A little French ...a little Italian ...and the end result is a sensational appetizer. A scrumptious spinach/basil pesto is whirled in the food processor until of spreading consistency. Slices of baguette are lightly toasted and then anointed with the pesto.

A crusty rosemary bread works nicely for this classic Italian salad. The bread - pulled into bite-sized pieces - tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions, are tossed with fresh herbs and just enough vinegar and oil to give them a nice glistening. Four generous servings.
