I love a chilled glass of wine after a long day and something easy to snack on. I am trying to stay alway from processed meats and I do not eat cheese . So I always have to be creative and come up with something else that pairs well with my wine. This bruschetta is a perfect twist to the classic Italian appetizer. So easy to make and so freaking good! I won’t waste your time and go straight to the recipe so you guys can try it for yourself and I hope you do and you get a taste of this heaven.
WHAT YOU NEED
2-3 Medium heirloom tomatoes
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 Avocado
Fresh Basil
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Balsamic Reduction
Salt & Pepper
Pesto ( I always make my own )
Crusty Bread
WHAT TO DO
In a large bowl add tomatoes cut into cubes, add avocado cut into cubes, add fresh basil and toss it all together. You have an option to add minced garlic here, but since I don’t like mine super garlic-y I will share the way I do it and I believe it’s the authentic way. Also don’t add the salt here. It will make the mixture soggy as it drains the liquid from the tomatoes.
Slice the bread and pop it in the oven on broil for couple of minutes. Once out take a clove of garlic, cut it into half and rub the bread with the cut part. Spread pesto and drizzle olive oil. Then put on the tomato, avo and basil mix, drizzle balsamic reduction and add a little bit salt and pepper. Enjoy!
