tomato bruschetta salad

Tomato bruschetta salad – minus the bread. In its simplest form, ‘bruschetta’ is toasted bread topped with tomatoes – a wonderful Italian antipasto served as a starter – but you know that. Tomato bruschetta salad has the flavors of the much-loved antipasto – in salad form. No bread. Although bread would be fabulous served alongside the salad with a simple grilled steak.

This salad is so simple to make & has very few ingredients but it’s big on flavor. And it can be made ahead of time. Balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil with a dollop of sambal oelek – clearly not authentic but I always add to bruschetta because it gives a little fiery punch & flavor.

Serve this salad with any grilled or roasted meats or seafood. Or, as a simple starter with some good, crusty bread. It epitomizes summer food, lazy weekends & alfresco dining. Cheers for now, Lovoni

tomato bruschetta salad

Serve as a side to roasted or grilled meats or as a starter with crusty, artisan bread. This simple, delicious salad can be made several hours ahead of time & stored in a sealed container in the fridge. It can also be warmed & served as a sauce over grilled chicken or steak. Or, stir through cooked pasta. The whole premise of the salad though is its ease. Serves 4 to 6, depending on what else you’re serving with it.
