Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 0.75 cups Crumbled feta cheese
- 6 pieces Baguette slices
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Mixed greens (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to toast the baguette slices.
Rinse and quarter the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the fresh basil leaves into thin ribbons and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the tomato-basil mixture.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the mixture, and season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Take the baguette slices and lay them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Rub the cut side of the garlic on each slice of the baguette for added flavor.
Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp.
If using mixed greens, spread them across a large serving platter or individual plates for a base. Pile the bruschetta mixture evenly over the greens or directly on the serving plate if greens are omitted.
Arrange the toasted baguette slices around the salad or serve them on the side.
Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze just before serving for a tangy, sweet finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, bold flavors of this Bruschetta Feta Salad.
