Bright, juicy tomatoes, pungent garlic, sweet-tart vinegar, and fresh basil are the stars in this easy Balsamic Bruschetta recipe. Simply made with 5 ingredients and just 10 minutes of prep time, this classic Italian toast topper is synonymous with summer. And if you can’t do bread, no worries – it’s also delicious spooned over all your grilling season favorites. 

About this balsamic bruschetta

If you’ve been craving proper Italian bruschetta, you’ve come to the right place! My tried and tested recipe is: 

Stunningly Simple – All you need are 7 ingredients tossed together in a bowl, meaning it’s easy enough for even the noobiest kitchen noob. No fancy chef skills needed!
Deliciously Inclusive – My appetizer bruschetta tastes like caprese salad with no mozzarella and the added texture of crunchy toasted bread. And, since the recipe is naturally vegan, it’s perfect for sharing with all your plant-based pals. But, don’t worry — the meat eaters will wolf it down just as enthusiastically. Promise!

Extraordinarily Versatile – While serving bruschetta on crostini is the traditional presentation, this summer-y tomato mixture is equally delightful spooned over grilled chicken, steak, or fish. It also makes for a lovely cold pasta sauce, especially when topped with seared scallops. 😋

Perfect for Summer – You can’t get more summery than garden fresh tomatoes...
