Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry or roma tomatoes, ¼ in. dice
- ½ cup basil, chiffonade or roughly chopped + garnish
- 3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil + more for drizzling on crostini
- 2 Tablespoon high-quality balsamic vinegar
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 2 cups croutons, ~ 1/2 baguette, cubed
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- Additional balsamic vinegar and/or olive oil to drizzle
Instructions
- Bruschetta Mix: In a small bowl, stir together tomatoes, basil, garlic, shallot, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Croutons: If making your own croutons (recommended!), pre-heat oven to 400°F. Toss together bread cubes in a drizzle of olive oil and coat with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, tossing halfway in between until golden brown and crispy.
- In a large bowl, toss together chopped lettuce, bruschetta mixture (and all the juices!), and croutons. Drizzle with more balsamic vinegar and/or olive oil as desired.
Notes
Use high quality balsamic vinegar! Seriously, it makes ALL the difference!
