Notes
MAKE AHEAD: you can make your strawberry, tomato mixture ahead of time (maybe a few hours ahead), and slice your baguette ahead of time. Don't assemble until right before serving or it'll get soggy.
ADD CHEESE: if you want to add a little creaminess you could add a spread of goat cheese, ricotta or whipped cream cheese .
