The Taste of Summer: Bruschetta

It’s simple, it’s quick and it’s tasty too.  I made this last night because I had tomatoes laying around and didn’t want the tomatoes to go bad.  Literally, it only takes 5 minuets to make bruschetta.  Seriously, you can me this dish faster than doing one round of Cindy.  As you know, Bruschetta is flavorful and basil really adds a different dimension.  Bruschetta is the taste of summer! 

I know what you are thinking, "What about the baguette?"  No baguette, sorry.  Its simply not Paelo. What you can do instead is spoon it on a grilled chicken or serve on the side.  

Ingredients:

3 Roma tomatoes (diced)

3 garlic cloves (minced)

10 basil leaves (julienned)

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 teaspoon of salt

White pepper to taste.

Direction:

Gently mix all ingredients in a medium bowl and place in refrigerator for an hour.  Then consume.  See simple.

Please be sure to add salt.  Salt will pull the water out of the tomato cells, which, in turn, will make your bruschetta juicy.
