  • Reviews

  • “This is a nice fresh bruschetta!I brushed the olive oil and garlic on the bread before toasting.I tasted the veggie mixture before topping the bread and thought it needed a little something so I added just a few dashes of balsamic vinegar and that did the trick.I thought the cucumber was an unusual addition but it added a nice little crunch.Thanks for sharing the recipe!”
