Fresh Vibrant Summer Bruschetta with Olives and Parmesan


Have your tomato plants done exceptionally well over the growing season? If they have then welcome to the club! My neighbors have not had to purchase a tomato in the last 6 weeks. I have canned salsa and made lots of this wonderful versatile Bruschetta!

4-5 cups diced drained tomatoes

fresh is best but you can use any kind you have on hand, the meatier the better.
Place the tomatoes in a strainer and let sit for about 20 min to get as much moisture out as possible.

3/4 cup diced Kalamata Olives
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh chopped basil

Mix well and serve immediately over a toasted artisan bread! 

We also serve this over steak and chicken. ( I have also been known to eat it out of the fridge with just a spoon when no one is looking :) This lasts about 4 days in the fridge if it lasts that long!
