8 slices fresh tomatoes -- (1/2-inch thick

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Use tomatoes held at room temperature until fully ripe. In a 2-quart

microwavable baking dish arrange half the polenta rounds. Top each round

with a basil leaf then a tomato slice; sprinkle tomato slices with half

if desired.
