Summer isn’t Complete Without the Best Bruschetta Recipe

Holly knew immediately that she created the best bruschetta recipe! This easy Bruschetta with Tomatoes recipe from trim&TERRIFIC Eating Well Through Cancer cookbook hits the spot with the season’s ripest tomatoes, basil and Kalamata olives. Fresh basil recipes are the best! This pick-up just cannot be beat, especially with home-grown tomatoes and fresh basil.  But be sure to make bruschetta with tomatoes year round because you can always get these fresh ingredients.

 

Easy Tomato Bruschetta Recipe is Go-to Summer Tomato Appetizer

Every summer get-together needs an appetizer to appease hungry guests and summer wouldn’t be complete without this Bruschetta with Tomatoes recipe. This fresh classic is a cinch to throw together – just chop, toss and spoon it on crusty bread. It is also easily doubled or tripled so you won’t have to stress about feeding a crowd. Those bright red tomatoes get their color from lycopene, the powerhouse antioxidant proven to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
