  • 1 cup sliced onions, sliced vertically, then across
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup peeled, seeded, and chopped Italian plum tomatoes (about 4)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon Emeril's Creole Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Partially prepare the Aioli Crostini by doing Steps 1 and 2. Set the aioli aside.
