This bruschetta is such a fresh and flavor favorite summer appetizer 🍅🍃🥖

INGREDIENTS

6 ripe plum tomatoes diced

2 garlic cloves pressed

¼ cup chopped basil leaves

3 tablespoons chopped red onions

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Shredded parmesan optional, for serving

For the garlic bread

1 baguette or French bread sliced

olive oil spray

2 garlic cloves peeled

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, basil, red onions, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper; set aside.

Use a bread knife to slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 24 slices). Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to not let them burn. Immediately rub the garlic on the bread slices when they come out of the oven.

Add the tomato mixture on top if serving immediately, or serve on the side. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
