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.
Servings: 8 large brushetta baguette slices
Calories: 45kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large tomatoes
- 2 small red onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin 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.
