Tomato and Garlic Salsa/Bruschetta (aka salschetta)

As much as I love the excitement that surrounds the winter holiday season, I think there’s something to be said for remembering to take advantage of the simple things in life, especially with regards to what we eat. We will ultimately spend many nights over the next month and a half stuffing our faces with delicious, comatose-ing foods. While I do enjoy those nights, I find myself craving “simple” food following these binge sessions. So in honor of the glutton I’m bound to become when I head home for the Thanksgiving break, I’m gonna take today’s post as an opportunity to present you all with a simple to prepare, yet delicious to eat, dish. Just as an FYI, this dish is technically meant to be eaten as an appetizer, but I’m not going to stop anyone from eating a bowl of this by themselves!

What you need:

  • 1 8oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 loaf of sliced and toasted bread (enter – jimmy john’s day old bread)
  • Grated parmesan (optional)

What you need to do:

  1. Combine the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and salt in a bowl
  2. Stir
  3. Spoon mixture onto toast
  4. Stuff face
