Bruschetta

This has been my signature "go to" appetizer since my teens. So fresh! And the more it sits, the better is tastes. Great who those who have herb gardens too because the ingredients will be just outside your door.


Bruschetta

6 romano tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano)
1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped ( or 1 1/2 Tbsp of dried basil)
2 tsp died parsley (I'm not growing fresh and I find that if you use fresh parsley it overpowers).
1 tsp fresh mint, finely chopped (optional)
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of 1 lime or 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, cover and place in fridge to marinate for at least an hour.

I put this bruschetta on homemade toasted baguette chips and topped it with goat cheese (feta is also a great combination).
