Now that I’ve been making bruschetta, I don’t know why in the world I never tried making it before. It is literally so easy to make and so delicious. It can easily be switched up and made into lots of different variations to suit your tastes. Right now I am loving making it with hearts of palm, tomatoes and basil. But, don’t like hearts of palm? Use avocado or any other veggie you like instead.
I make a large bowl and then any leftovers I have I eat as a salad. The only labor intensive part of the recipe is cutting everything up. In the recipe box I put that this takes 20 minutes to make, but if you’re quick with your knife you can easily whip this up in less than 15 minutes.
It’s fresh, light, scrumptious and a crowd pleaser. It will be the perfect light snack once the weather warms up. Now I just wish I was enjoying it while laying poolside somewhere… 😉
- 1 loaf french bread
- 1 (15 oz) can hearts of palm
- 5-6 ripe plum tomatoes
- 8-10 fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- Slice tomatoes and hearts of palm into quarter inch size pieces. Tear basil leaves into small pieces with your hands. Add tomatoes, basil and hearts of palm to a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil on top. Season with salt and pepper. Toss together so salt, pepper and olive oil are evenly distributed.
- Heat griddle pan over medium heat. Cut bread into half inch wide pieces. Lightly brush each side of bread with olive oil. Place on griddle for four minutes, flipping halfway through so that bread is lightly toasted on each side.
- Top toasted bread with bruschetta. Serve and enjoy!
