Directions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl and gently toss until combined. When adding the tomatoes, allow any juice that seeped out when cutting to remain on the cutting board; do not add this to the bowl.
  2. Although this bruschetta can enjoy it immediately, it’s best to cover and let 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!

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.

This was delicious. Nice to have fresh basil from the garden and was a perfect small dinner when you're not that hungry
