Because of the great weather we've been having, our herbs are growing so quick. My mom decided we should put our abundance of herbs to good use by whipping up some fresh bruschetta using the basil from our garden. We chose to use an easy, light recipe, which turned out awesome.
Ingredients:
- 8 roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1/3 cup fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (optional)
- French bread (toasted & sliced)
Directions:
- In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, basil, and garlic.
- Mix in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Serve on toasted bread slices.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of slices if desired.
These are the perfect summertime snack or appetizer because bruschetta is quick, easy and small portioned. The only thing I will change next time will be using fresh tomatoes from the garden (hopefully they will be ripe by then!)
