I created my own version of Bruschetta.
Ingredients

Salt and pepper
For the topping
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped lettuce
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
3-4 tbsp Mayonnaise
Preparation
Cut the bread as shown in the picture.
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat.Drizzle the bread slices with olive oil. Grill the bread until golden on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.Sprinkle the bread slices with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
For the topping:
In a medium bowl combine all the given ingredients and gently stir.
To serve, spoon the topping on the bread and serve or place the topping in a bowl and serve with the grilled bread alongside.

Hey, I recently made quite a number of bruschettas, too! Not sure if you like garlic like I do, but I usually use the grilled bread like a grater, rubbing the garlic quite hard so that bits get stuck in the holes! :) Of course, this way, it "burns" more, but I love it! :)
That is a neat presentation. Love it.
That one looks healthy.
