tomato bruschetta salad

May 23, 2019 by Lovoni | 1 Comment

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.

Finnish Mustard - move over every other mustard I’ve ever loved, this is my new favourite. The recipe is an adaptation of @tessakiros from #fallingcloudberries a cookbook I highly recommend. If a mustard can be decadent then this is it. It’s also so simple to make. 
I purged many of my cookbooks recently. I’m replacing some with cookbooks I want to cook from and will make a point of using. Beth from @oldetymemarketplace along with @downshilohroad & @myrustichouse have started a fun hashtag to encourage us to make & share recipes from our cookbooks #friendswhocookwithabook 
It’d be such fun if you joined along. I know we all have those cookbooks that sit collecting dust. Well time to use them or pitch them. Or treat yourself & buy some new ones. Finding recipes online is convenient but never the same as holding a gorgeous cookbook in your hands. 
If like me you love mustard I urge you to try this mustard recipe. It’s divine.

QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who has to add whipped cream to a recipe that’s having its pic taken - never use canned cream. You know the shit in a can I’m talking about?! That stuff breaks down quickly & is total crap. You need to whip the cream yourself and, you need to stabilize it with some powdered sugar. And don’t over whip the cream. Whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream in a cold bowl until it’s starting to thicken, add about 1/3 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, whip until soft peaks form & then you can make great swirls, dollops or pipe it & it’ll behave & stay looking good to have its pic taken. Perfect swirls & dollops = pretty pics. 

Meanwhile, here’s the recipe for this yummy & really easy to make dessert.

SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who made new year’s resolution to go on a diet? God I’ve been on so many bloody diets. They work of course, as long as one stays on diet of choice. Kudos to those who do. As a mere mortal & coupled with my recipe testing, writing, styling & such I can’t, nor do I want to, eliminate whole food groups from my diet. I fail miserably at it. Then I beat myself up. And the vicious cycle goes around & around. My health - physical & mental & business are my main focuses this year. Diets are kicked to the curb along with negative self-talk. Enough already.  Wholesome foods, moving my body with exercise that makes me happy & I want to do is key. Who else feels the same? 
Here’s the link to this vibrant recipe. I really enjoyed it for dinner last night & last week. Serve it up with some steamed jasmine rice. So good.
