Ingredients

  • 7
    medium tomatoes, diced
  • ½
    small red onion, minced
  • ⅓ cup (8 g)
    fresh basil, thinly sliced
  • 2
    garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL)
  • 1 tsp (5 mL)
    extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp
    garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp
    salt
  • ⅛ tsp
    ground black pepper
  • 1
    medium baguette, cut into rounds, toasted

Directions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl and gently toss until combined.
  2. Although the dish can be enjoyed immediately, it’s best to cover the tomatoes and let them sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow the flavours to meld, if possible.
  3. Serve fresh on toasted bread, or even toast together with the bread in the oven for a warm bruschetta. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy!

Storage

  • Best to enjoy the same day it's made.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.

Hey Nandinee, you can use a gluten-free baguette or other gluten-free bread in place of the baguette to make this recipe gluten-free if you'd like 😊

Absolutely amazing! Plan on eating this all the time. Loved it. Also tried with capers salad glaze and it was delicious that way too.

Made this for a friend’s get together and everyone loved it! Will absolutely be using through the summer!
(I went a little heavy on the garlic and we paired with toasted garlic naan which was maybe a little TOO much garlic 😅)

Woop woop! As garlic lovers that sounds incredible, Kristin 😉

Delish. Thanks for the inspiration

I wanted to use up the balsamic reduction from your other recipe so I decided to use it in this one. I had the bruschetta after my morning workout (with hummus, as per the suggestion from the video) and now I'm ready to attack my day 🙃 very tasty and filling 😋

Pleasant, classic tomato salsa. Really worth to invest in a high-quality balsamic vinegar for a top notch result👌🏻
Perfect for afternoon fika on a piece of bread.

Love a good balsamic vinegar! Thanks, Louise 😊
