You Say Tomato, I Say Bruschetta

During a late-day stroll this afternoon, Mike and I popped into a market for Bruschetta fixings. Plump Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and a warm baguette. There is no rocket science behind this appetizer, but its certainly a crowd pleaser and very refreshing for a pre-dinner treat!

Mix together the following: 2-3 Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced small), a handful of fresh basil leaves (chopped into a thin confetti), salt and pepper (to taste), a drizzle of good olive oil. If you have it, fresh oregano (about a teaspoon) makes the flavors even brighter. Serve along with thinly slices baguette, sliced Italian salami, like Soppressata, and a glass red wine. Buon Appeetito!
