These rustic Tuscan bruschetta are an ideal summertime snack or appetizer, and they make enough to serve a crowd. Or prepare them as a side dish alongside grilled chicken and some bubbly Prosecco for a light meal. Mashing the cannellini beans to partially break them up helps the lemony topping hold together and stick to the toasts, making them a little neater to eat. Plum tomatoes work nicely here because they have a lower water content than larger tomatoes, which makes the topping mixture less watery. You can this recipe with any fresh herbs you have on hand. Dill, oregano, or mint would all be tasty.
