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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all the above ingredients [minus the feta, balsamic, and cucumber] in a bowl and toss to coat.
  2. Serve up right away or allow the mixture a little bit of time to marinate before serving.
  3. The leftovers are not only delicious, but will keep for up to four days in your fridge, assuming they last that long!
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
