    1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

    1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar

    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    1⁄2 bunch fresh oregano, roughly chopped

    1⁄2 bunch Italian parsley, roughly chopped

    1 small bunch chives, chopped

    2 ripe beefsteak tomatoes, sliced 1⁄2-inch thick

    2 yellow acid-free tomatoes, sliced 1⁄2-inch thick

    8 slices Branola or other type sweet-dough bread containing whole grains, 1⁄2-inch thick

    Coarse salt and black pepper to taste

    Whisk together oil, vinegar, and mustard in a small steel bowl. Fold in chopped herbs.
    Lay tomato slices in a single layer into a glass (nonreactive) dish, and pour most of the dressing over them, reserving about 2 tablespoons. Allow to marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
    Toast the whole-grain bread and drizzle with remaining dressing. Shingle tomatoes in alternating colors. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
