Fresh Summer Bruschetta Recipe

Bruschetta, properly pronounced Brusketta is one of my absolute favorite appetizers! Hands down!

I just love summertime when everything is in bloom there’s so many yummy fruits and veggies to be had. Full of juicy shiny deliciousness.

I also love gardening and growing tomatoes especially ; this is a wonderful way to eat up all that yummy goodness.

This tried and true recipe uses fresh vine ripened tomatoes. Check out these beauties that I grew just in a container on my deck:

Of course you can use other types of tomatoes but I’d stick to the vine ripened or Roma for best flavor and texture. Especially since this can be eaten directly from the bowl you made it in, no need to toast in the oven, but you absolutely can if that’s your preference.

The inspiration for this tried and true recipe came from an old Downhome Magazine quite a few years ago. I had a subscription while I lived in Inuvik. Its a wonderful magazine. They have stories and recipes from Newfoundland in there. Great for anyone living away from home.

I adjusted the recipe for my preference as I love the acidity of the vinegar, I add a little more and I do believe the other recipe called for red wine vinegar which you can feel free to use. I have and its very good. I use Balsamic and white wine vinegar in my recipe.

Watch me make this delicious bruschetta its super easy and super yummy. One of my most requested recipes.
