bruschetta with strawberries and tomatoes


Gather It

1/2 pint strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/2 pint mixed cherry tomatoes (red and yellow), quartered
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing bread
salt
freshly ground pepper
1 large baguette, cut on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices

Make It

In a medium bowl, mix first five ingredients with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Place bread on a baking pan and brush with olive oil; flip and repeat. Heat grill to medium-high. Transfer bread to grill; grill until slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Place grilled bread slices on a platter and top each with a heaping spoonful of the strawberry-tomato mix.

Note It

Who would've thought of mixing strawberries and tomatoes but somehow it works out to be so good!
