List of Ingredients
Summertime Bruschetta (Tomato and Basil)
4 plum tomatoes, very finely diced
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
6-8 garlic cloves, very finely minced (1 tablespoon)
1/4 cup basil, minced
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
8 slices French bread or Italian bread, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 1/2 baquette)
2 garlic cloves, cut in half
Recipe
In a large mixing bowl, toss tomatoes with cheese, minced garlic, basil, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
When very well mixed, cover and refrigerate for 3 hours to let flavors meld.
Just before serving, grill the bread until lightly toasted (you can do it under the broiler or on the grill, it only takes a few minutes).
Rub one side of the toast with the cut sides of the garlic cloves.
Spread tomato mixture over toast slices and serve immediately or fill a small bowl with the tomato mixture and place it in the center of a serving platter with the toast arranged around it and allow everyone to help themselves
