Bruschetta is one of my favorite summer appetizers.It’s one of the freshest,simplest, and healthiest appetizers out there(no frying or mayo).
The combination of sweet tomatoes and aromatic basil with tangy sweet balsamic and olive oil is simply divine.Great thing about bruschetta… that it can be served as an appetizer,snack,salad or lunch.Whatever you’re in the mood for.And at parties they’re are gone in a zoom!
