Classic Bruschetta

Sharon Palmer

You’ll find this staple appetizer, based on ripe tomatoes, served in most restaurants in Italy as an accompaniment with toasted rustic bread. But making this Classic Bruschetta is so easy to do yourself at home. And if you have an abundance of summer tomatoes on hand from your garden or the farmers market, this is the perfect dish to make the most of those rich, juicy tomatoes. Based on only a few ingredients—fresh tomatoes, white onion, garlic, EVOO, vinegar, oregano, and basil—this is an easy recipe you can whip up in 5 minutes. Just toss together those ingredients, and then serve with toasted bread. Or you can enjoy this Classic Bruschetta with other dishes, such as veggie burgers, veggie balls, falafels, or cooked grains. Tomatoes are rich in the antioxidant compound, tomatoes, so this dip is filled with heart-healthy nutrition, too.

Bruschetta is a great way to use up extra tomatoes in the heart of the summer. Check out my harvest of heirloom tomatoes.
