1

In a large bowl, combine the grape or cherry tomatoes (3 cups), prepared horseradish (2 teaspoons), tamari soy sauce (0.5 teaspoon), and [sea salt to taste]. Grate garlic (1 clove) finely into the bowl. Toss to combine. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes.
2

While the tomatoes marinate, in a medium bowl, combine celery (1 stick), red onion (0.25 cup), [small handful flat leaf parsley leaves], and virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon). Toss to coat and set aside.
3

After 30 minutes, strain the accumulated juice from the tomatoes into a small skillet. There should be about 0.25-0.33 cup of liquid. Place the skillet over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the tomato juice mixture down to roughly liquid (2 tbsp) and remove from heat. Set aside.
4

Grill, broil, or toast the baguette (1 ciabatta) until golden and crispy. Cut the toasted ciabatta into 12 even pieces. Halve the remaining garlic (1 clove) crosswise. Rub the cut surfaces of the [ciabatta baguette] pieces with the garlic clove and arrange on a platter.
5

Lightly brush each piece of [ciabatta baguette] with the reduced tomato mixture. Spoon the [grape or cherry tomatoes] onto each piece of [ciabatta baguette]. Top each bruschetta with a small tangle of the [celery]/[red onion]/[flat leaf parsley leaves] salad. Garnish with [sliced green olives], [pepperoncini peppers], [thin slices of jalapeno], [sliced dill pickles], [extra parsley or fresh basil], and [vegan parmesan]. Enjoy immediately!
