Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice bread on the diagonal into 30 (1/2-inch thick) slices. Brush with 4 tablespoons of the oil. Place bread slices on baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack.
  2. Place beans, tomatoes, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar and 1 teaspoon of the spiced sea salt in medium bowl; mix until well blended.
