Summer Tomato and Nectarine Bruschetta
Sometimes the perfect summer dish doesn’t need flaming hot grills or long roasting times. Here is a new favorite appetizer perfect for a summer evening. I love visiting my local farmers’ markets and finding the freshest ingredients of the season, and here I top crispy baguette slices with juicy tomatoes and chunks of sweet nectarine. Drizzle some olive oil and vinegar, tear a few basil leaves (fresh from the garden!) , and you’re good to go. Without bread, this is a great standalone salad!
Ingredients
- 2-3 tomatoes seeded and chopped
- 1 nectarine chopped
- 1 large garlic clove chopped finely
- 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped chives to garnish
- baguette cut into 1/2 inch pieces, toasted
Directions
- Mix all ingredients (chopped tomatoes, nectarine, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper) in a medium sized bowl.
- Slice baguette and toast in the oven. Arrange bread on a plate, and top with tomato mixture.
- Sprinkle chives on top, and it’s ready to serve!
- Eat right away, so the bread doesn’t get too soggy.
- Enjoy!
