Bruschetta Fresca

Try this easy to prepare bruschetta for your next event. It's beautiful, fresh, and very tasty.

Ingredients

10 Roma tomatoes, chopped small
1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves, torn up small
3 cloves garlic, minced tiny
3 oz. feta cheese, crumbled (we like the Mediterranean-spiced ones)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 T. olive oil

Mix all together and let sit for 1 hour or overnight

Serving options:
Cool - serve on the side with French bread rounds
Warm - top toasted bread rounds with bruschetta, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on each top, and an individual drizzle of olive oil and set under broiler for 1 minute, or until cheese is melted and golden.

Fresco e bello: This entire appetizer is simply fresh and beautiful...a great choice for unexpected company or a planned get-together or just to bless the family that you love.

(Roo just climbed up in my lap to tell me he loves me...my heart is full.)

Can this be made with canned tomatoes? if you buy diced -- they are pre-cut up for you and the tomatoes in the store are pretty blandish...

I think you could TRY it with canned tomatoes, but I use Roma tomatoes, or even on-the-vines, which have better tomato taste than other varieties.

I would probably use fresh tomatoes, I don't think this would taste as yummy all mushy. Like the difference between jar salsa and pico de gallo. :) my 2 cents anywho!
