Ingredients

  • 2 cups tomatoes seeded and finely diced
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 2 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 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

  • Ingredients. Campari tomatoes are best if you have them.
  • Vinegar. Balsamic vinegar goes in both the bruschetta and glaze.
  • Prep-ahead. You can prepare it entirely and chill it overnight. Just do not combine it with bread until you are ready to serve.
  • Storage. Fresh tomato bruschetta will store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
