Homemade Basil & Olive Bruschetta
I love a juicy steak. What I love even better, a juicy steak topped with fresh homemade bruschetta. It is also great on chicken, salmon, or on crackers or toasted bread!
It is suppppper simple.
What you will need: (Double or triple if making for more than one person)
-1 firm, large vine ripened tomato, diced
-1/2 white onion, diced
-3 large fresh basil leaves, sliced
-2 mint leaves, sliced (optional, can also use parsley)
-6 to 9 olives, sliced (I used Greek Kalamata olives)
-1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
-1 fresh, minced garlic clove
-dash of sea salt to taste
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and toss well. Let sit and soak for at least 10 minutes before serving. Also, tastes great if you chill it in the hour before serving, if you are planning to eat it on top of bread or crackers. ENJOY!
You can also add other things to spice it up like capers, lemon juice, or roasted red peppers...but I love it just like that, simple and delish!
