    • Dice 6-8 ripe tomatoes (or double it for plum tomatoes, which are preferred). Cut out all the goop & only use the hard outside. Dice them small to soak up the vinegar mixture.

    • Let them soak in about 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar & 1 tsp sea salt.

    • While they soak, cut up 4-5 leaves of basil , and one small purple onion, diced into small pieces.

    • Add these to the mixture. Add 1 ½ TB of lemon juice, 1 tsp garlic, and 1/3 cup Italian dressing (Garlic Expressions dressing is preferred, otherwise use a thick, zesty Italian dressing).

    • Let the flavors blend for at least an hour.

    • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice a French baguette into ½” diagonal slices. Brush one side with olive oil, place oil side down on baking sheet, and toast for 5-6 minutes on top oven rack.

    • Spoon bruschetta (drain as you wish before spooning it on) onto the bread slices. If you wish, you can add mozzarella or provolone cheese on top, then return to the oven until cheese is melted.
