Ingredients

  • 2 cups tomato seeded and finely diced
  • ¼ cup basil thinly sliced, fresh
  • 2 garlic finely minced, cloves
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1 baguette cut into 1-inch pieces, optional
  • balsamic glaze

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, onion, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently until just combined.
  2. If serving with bread: Preheat oven to 350℉. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over all of the baguette pieces. Lay bread on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
  3. Top toasted baguette pieces with a spoonful of bruschetta and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, serve as a dip, or on top of grilled chicken.

Notes

  • Campari tomatoes work best, but substitute with other ripe tomatoes if needed.
  • Balsamic vinegar is key both in the tomato mix and the glaze for depth of flavor.
  • Prepare the tomato mixture ahead and chill, but add it to bread only before serving to keep the toast crisp.
  • Store any leftover tomato mixture in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3-4 days.
