Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut each tomato into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Stack the basil leaves, roll them into a tight bundle, and slice them thinly. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. Add the minced garlic to the tomato and basil mixture.
In a separate small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, fresh lemon juice, onion powder, and dried oregano. Whisk everything together until well emulsified.
Pour the balsamic and olive oil dressing over the tomato, basil, and garlic mixture, and toss everything gently to combine thoroughly and evenly coat the tomatoes.
Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Optional: Adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice or pepper to taste if desired. Serve on toasted bread slices for a delicious, low sodium bruschetta experience.
