Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing the cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each cherry tomato into quarters and place them in a mixing bowl. If the cherry tomatoes are larger, you might need to cut them into eighths for a more even size.
Wash the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry. Stack the leaves on top of each other, roll them into a log shape, and then slice them thinly into ribbons, a technique known as chiffonade. Add the sliced basil to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Add the minced garlic to the tomato and basil mixture.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture.
Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper on top, and gently toss everything together until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Taste the bruschetta topping and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt or pepper if necessary.
Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a topping for grilled chicken, zucchini noodles, or your favorite Whole30-compliant base.
