Bruschetta with Tomato and Arugula

Let your garden dictate what's on your plate.  Then, just add olive oil.



Topping
3 ripe tomatoes, diced
3 ounces of arugula, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Bread
12 (1/2-inch) small slices rustic artisan bread
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
  1. To prepare topping, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.  Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  2. To prepare bread, toast or grill bread until golden.  Combine olive oil and garlic.  Brush on toasted bread.  Top bread with tomato mixture.  Serve 6.

  1. I'm thinking of having a bruschetta happy hour soon and will try this recipe. We're going to get a small charcoal grill and buy some excellent Italian bread from Wegman's. The idea is to come up with several different toppings and serve Limoncello mixed with club soda. Maybe a little prosciutto e melone. Not sure yet.
