fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar or balsamic glazeto taste. Optional.
Instructions
Combine diced tomato, basil and minced garlic in a non-metal bowl. This tomato topping will sit for a while, and a metal bowl may affect the taste.
Drizzle topping with extra virgin olive oil, fresh-squeezed lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, just to taste. Then let this sit covered for an hour or two to let the flavors combine.
Grill each bread slice on both sides, being careful to toast them well but not to let them burn.
Rub the cut side of each grilled piece with a whole clove of garlic, then drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
Serve your bruschetta with the tomato mixture already on it, or in a bowl on the side. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a twist and top with a basil leaf (optional).
Notes
Use roasted garlic instead if you prefer a sweeter taste and you think fresh garlic is too strong.
