These deliciously simple cucumber bruschetta cups is a healthy, gluten-free alternative to traditional bruschetta and positively tasty too! We love this easy peasy appetizer for parties and after school snacking!

Ingredients
- 2 cups Diced Roma tomato
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup of finely diced white onion
- 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TBSP white balsamic vinegar
- 5 large basil leaves, shredded plus extra for topping
- 1-2 tsp fresh chopped parsley
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp dried dill
- 1-2 English cucumbers
- 2-4 TBSP crumbled feta (optional)
- 2 TBSP sweet balsamic glaze plus extra to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the above ingredients [minus the feta, balsamic, and cucumber] in a bowl and toss to coat.
- Serve up right away or allow the mixture a little bit of time to marinate before serving.
- The leftovers are not only delicious, but will keep for up to four days in your fridge, assuming they last that long!
- To maximize the bruschetta potential of each cuke, slice them a bit on the thick side and scoop out the middles with a grapefruit spoon or melon baller if you have one! If not, a little handy work with paring knife will help you nix the seeds and make room for more yummy bruschetta topping.
- Pile each cucumber cup high with your filling and top with a hearty drizzle of balsamic glaze, crumbled feta, and a sprinkle of fresh basil chiffonade.
Notes
- This recipe makes just over 2 cups of bruschetta topping, enough for around 20-30 cucumber cups.
- For 1/2 cup of sweet balsamic glaze, simply combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1/4 cup of brown or white sugar. Stir to dissolve as you bring the pot to a boil. Once bubbly, reduce to simmer on very low heat and allow the vinegar to reduce into a glaze. This takes at least twenty minutes so if you're pressed for time you can use a store bought glaze or just drizzle straight up with a high quality balsamic!
