How to Make Basically The Best Bruschetta Ever

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (halved), 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently toss to combine.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
  3. To serve: Lightly toast your favorite baguette slices. You can also rub the slices with a cut garlic clove for extra flavor. Top with the bruschetta mixture.
  4. For an extra cheesy twist: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or bake the bruschetta on the bread with a crumbled feta or Asiago cheese until golden brown and bubbly.
