Homemade Bruschetta

Core and dice tomatoes (or use a food chopper). Drain any excess juice and transfer tomatoes to a medium bowl.

Stack basil leaves and roll them into a tube. Using a sharp knife or food scissors, thinly slice the basil into ribbons and transfer to the bowl with tomatoes.

Finely mince 5 garlic cloves & add to the mixing bowl with tomatoes.

Season tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic, sea salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine and set aside to marinate for 15-30 minutes. Serve with bruschetta toasts and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or balsamic glaze.
