Slice a baguette (or two small ones) into thin slices.
Place on a baking sheet and into the oven for 5-7 minutes.
Flip over and continue to bake for 3-4 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately rub the hot slices of crostini with the halved garlic cloves cut side down. Repeat with remaining crostini and garlic halves.
While the crostini is baking, combine the diced tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic slivers, olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and sea salt & freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Mix until well combined.
Serve the tomato basil salad with the garlic crostini. Enjoy.
