This is a recipe that you must use fresh tomatoes so one would assume the season would be summer however, this is a tasty year-round comfort dish. The best classic bruschetta recipe I often call Italian Salsa and what you will find on this post today.

Homemade Bruschetta Recipe From Garden

Bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy consisting of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with various fresh ingredients like olives, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs.  This is why I call Bruschetta an Italian Salsa.  Using toasted bread instead of corn chips making it an amazing appetizer or even meal.  In this post, I use fresh ingredients including herbs you can grow year-round in-home or garden.  I hope you take advantage of the print option on this post.

Fresh Tomatoes for Bruschetta Recipe

Trust me.. this recipe will become a favorite you will use year-round.  In the photos today we are enjoying a winters evening staying cozy indoors.  I harvest garlic, basil, parsley and a few peppers from my home greenhouse garden for this treat.  Keep scrolling down to get downloadable recipe card.

An amazing bottle of Balsamic Vinaigrette that you could drink it tastes so smooth and amazing was used in today’s recipe.  This bottle is from Zingermans but I have found it on Amazon.  Check out the Aceto Balsamico Di Moderna by Giuseppe Giusti on Amazon.

Sometimes I enjoy just adding this Vinaigrette to my greens from the garden.
