Fresh Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Reduction

I feel like I have been waiting to share this recipe with ya’ll for like EVER!!!

Seriously… no joke!

I made this um… 6 months ago!!!!!

I know craziness! I promise I haven’t been holding out on you. I’ve had the best of intentions to share.

I took pictures… they looked horrid so I tossed them and was planning to take the pictures again but then life happened and my forgetfulness kicked in.

Low and behold I was going through some of the draft recipes I had saved for a rainy day and this recipe was there. Thank goodness!

I think I have told you before, but one of my favorite ‘make-shift’ date nights with Mike is to make a big spread of appetizers, open a bottle of wine, and curl up on the couch with my sweet husband and watch a movie.

Truth be told I could curl up on the couch with just this Bruschetta, but Mike is way more comfortable to cuddle with. 🙂

This Fresh Tomato Bruschetta recipe has quickly become one my favorites to make for that dine in date night!

Why This is The Best Bruschetta Recipe

What I love about this Bruschetta is it has such a fresh flavor. Its light and super easy to make, perfect to munch on during the summer when all the vegetables and fresh herbs are bountiful.

I am all about tomatoes and decided to use two different colors to add a little more pizazz to the bruschetta, mixed it with lemony basil from my garden, some salt and pepper and topped off with a homemade garlic olive oil.

Yup… doesn’t get much better than that folks…

Oh… wait.. it does!

Just add….

yup… Balsamic Reduction!

I may or may consider Balsamic Reduction to be its very own food group. If you’ve had it before then you understand. But if you haven’t… shame on you! Go make some or buy some now!!! Sooooo good! It adds tons of flavor to any recipe with just a little touch.

While your at it go out and buy the ingredients for this Fresh Tomato Bruschetta! It is the perfect dish to bring to the next BBQ Party or a light dinner to eat with your hunnie. Your choice, either way. Hope you enjoy!
