Bruschetta is a healthy and delicious appetizer that makes one of the best uses of summer tomatoes and basil. Simple to prepare it, and will also look good.

Bruschetta with tomatoes and basil
-
While the bread cooks drizzle each slice of bread with a tablespoon of olive oil and top with a large spoonful of chopped tomatoes (or cubed tomatoes), add chopped basil and serve immediately.
PS In the US I have seen Bruschetta done with pieces of garlic on top or powder garlic, please avoid that! Italian food does not need to be butchered this way !
