Balsamic Bruschetta

Tomato and basil balsamic bruschetta is a light and refreshing topping for crusty bread or chicken. Top it on toasted garlic bread and eat as a snack or a light lunch, or on chicken for a delicious dinner recipe. Balsamic bruschetta makes an easy picnic, BBQ, or party finger food.

Ingredients

  • 3 large tomatoes
  • 2 small red onions
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoon fresh basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 crusty bread loaf french, Italian, garlic

Instructions

  • Dice the tomatoes, onions, and garlic and transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Add balsamic and oil and mix well.
  • Chop basil into small pieces and add 1 tablespoon to brushetta. Season with salt and pepper to taste (approximately ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper).
  • Slice the bread and toast for 2-3 minutes. Top each slice with brushetta and sprinkle with remaining basil.

Notes

Use your favorite crusty bread for serving. I like a large Italian garlic bread when making for lunch, but a thinner french bread when serving for guests or at parties. 
A large loaf will make 8-10 brushetta slices and a thin loaf will make 16-20.
