GARDEN FRESH BRUSCHETTA

I can’t believe I am posting a bruschetta recipe in the middle of November. Or, stranger still, that I even have tomatoes still growing in my garden in the middle of November!

Well, here we are. I had wanted to try making bruschetta back in summer, but somehow never got around to it. I felt like it was a sign that I should be making it when I gathered some tomatoes a few days ago. It’s really easy and delicious. Give it a try!

Combine the tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes in order for the flavors to marinate.
