Bruschetta

The other day while doing our Christmas food shopping I came across this gorgeous yellow and orange tomatoes. I know how much the kids enjoy bruschetta so I made it for them. I love this recipe since is so easy to make and so nutritional. This is a great appetizer and is a great recipe for a dinner party since you can make it ahead of time.

Ingredients:

• 4-5 Roma tomatoes
• 1/4 Cup Red Onions finely chopped
• 2 Garlic Cloves finely chopped
• 8-16 Fresh Basil Leafs (more or less depending on your taste)
• 1 tsp Crushed Dried Oregano
• 4 tbs Olive Oil (or you can add to taste)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 1 Loaf of French Bread or Baguette

Directions:

1. Chop tomatoes in cubes about 1-2 centimeters and add to bowl
2. Add finely chopped red onion, garlic, and oregano to bowl
3. Mince fresh basil and add to bowl
4. Drizzle olive oil to bowl and season with salt and pepper
5. Slice bread and toast on either the oven or in the gridle
6. You can either put the tomato mixture on top of the bread or you can set the two together and let your guest make their own. (if this is for a dinner party is better to not serve or bread will become soggy).
