Garlic bread makes this dish. I was able to use crusty bread I thought I'd have to throw out. Also I added some quartered cherry tomatoes which gave it a nice sweetness

Bruschetta should NEVER have cucumber or onions in it. Use Balsamic instead.

Enjoyed the freshness of this. Great on crackers. I didn't have red wine vinegar so substituted pinot vinegar. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful blend of flavors! My husband who doesn't like tomatoes even enjoyed this recipe.

I used balsamic vinegar instead! Recipe is fantastic!

I really liked this! Even with out-of-season veggies it had a variety of bright tastes. I made a mistake with the basil and ground up way too much basil. Doing the dicing is what takes the time in this recipe.

The topping is the main thing in this dish. The ingredients must be fresh and bright in color.
