Bruschetta is a simple Italian appetizer usually pronounced as 'brusketta'. This consists of grilled bread topped with a salsa. Tomato is the hero in the classic bruschetta, but you can always play around with your favorite toppings.
If you like 'pico de gallo' (Mexican salsa), this dish is for you. I love having this salsa straight from the bowl. Fresh tomatoes, basil, onions, oregano and a tinge of garlic flavor make this dish amazing.
This is a perfect starter and is best to include in your menu for picnics (keep bread and topping separate until you reach your spot).
Ingredients
3 medium tomatoes
1 fresh Baguette (french bread)
2 tbsp finely minced red onion
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tsp dried oregano
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
