Stir together garlic and extra virgin olive oil in a bowl.
Slice a loaf of sourdough bread at an angle into ½-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush with garlic and extra virgin olive oil mixture.
Keep the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the bread is toasted and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, mix together tomatoes, lemon juice, basil, vinegar, salt, and pepper powder in a medium mixing bowl.
Now assemble your bruschetta.
Place the toasted bread on a large serving platter.
Top with some of the tomato mixture. Add a small spoonful of olive tapenade over the tomatoes.
Garnish with chopped parsley or basil sprigs and serve immediately.

Notes
Bruschetta must be assembled just before serving, however, you can make the topping and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
