Flatbread Tomato Bruschetta with a Sweet Balsamic Drizzle

I came up with this recipe yesterday when I had a bowl of tomatoes from our local farm stand and wanted a fresh light snack.

These tomatoes are so delicious. I knew whatever I threw together it would be fantastic. I think it's so important to use farm fresh fruits and vegetables for eating alone or in any recipe you make. Everything just tastes better when you do.

The following Tomato Bruschetta recipe makes enough for 10 pieces. It was so good, I ended eating them all before my family got home to try. They ended up being more then a snack but my lunch. As well as a nice refreshing healthy snack these would also be great as an hors d'oeuvre at a party or even a side dish to a summer BBQ dinner.

This recipe is filled with anti-aging ingredients.



Tomato Bruschetta

Ingredients
2 large (farm fresh) tomatoes (chopped - insides removed)
1 garlic clove (finely chopped)
1 1/2 tbsp basil (chopped)
1 tsp white balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste (you really only need a pinch)

In a bowl add above ingredients. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least an hour.



Meanwhile prepare the flatbread

Whole Wheat Lavash Flat-bread Crackers

Ingredients
3 Whole Wheat Lavash Bread (Trader Joe's carries a good one)
Olive Oil


I cut the bread into even squares or rectangles (depending on what I plan on using them for).

350 degree oven

Place the bread on a baking sheet (single layer).

Brush the bread with olive oil.

Bake about 10/15 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.

Cool then store in a airtight glass container.



Sweet Balsamic Drizzle

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
honey to thicken
pinch of salt

In a bowl add the olive and and balsamic vinegar. Mix together. A little at a time add honey to the mixture and mix until the dressing thickens. I usually use a couple tablespoons give or take a little. Add a pinch of salt and stir. Transfer to a squeeze bottle if you have one.


To ensemble the "Flatbread Tomato Bruschetta with a Sweet Balsamic Drizzle" place 10 prepared flatbread crackers on a tray.
Top the flatbread evenly with the prepared tomato bruschetta that has been marinating. With a spoon or squeeze bottle drizzle the sweet balsamic dressing over each flatbread bruschetta.

Enjoy!
