Total Time 25 minutes
Servings8 1/4 cup servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced tomatoes squeeze out seeds before dicing
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • a few cracks black pepper
  • ¼ cup finely minced fresh basil leaves
  • 1 french baguette or bread of your choice
  • additional olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove

Instructions

  • Combine tomatoes, onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Lightly mix and then add basil. Feel free to add more olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper.  It's very flexible!  Let sit for 30 minutes if you have the time to let flavors develop.
  • To prep baguette, preheat oven to 400℉. Slice bread into ¼ inch slices, place on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with oil. Bake for about 10 minutes. Slice large garlic clove in half length wise and gently rub on surface of toasted baguette slices.
  • Spoon bruschetta mix onto baguette slices. Serve.

Notes

  • This bruschetta is best served fresh! If you have leftovers, the tomato mixture can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two. 
  • Nutrition information reflects 1/4 cup of tomato mixture. It does not include the baguette slices or oil used to toast them.
