Ingredients
- 4-5 large Roma tomatoes (or about 2 cups cherry tomatoes), finely diced
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup red onion, very finely diced (optional)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for extra sweetness and tang)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced and toasted, for serving
- Crackers or pita chips, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the finely diced tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, and diced red onion (if using).
- Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze (if using) over the tomato mixture.
- Season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the tomatoes are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and let the bruschetta dip sit at room temperature for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- While the dip rests, slice your baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces. You can toast them lightly in a toaster or oven until golden and crisp.
- Serve the Easy Bruschetta Dip immediately with the toasted baguette slices, crackers, or pita chips.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
