I love bruschetta, well lets be honest, I love all Italian food! I used to make an amazing bruschetta, but as my health journey has evolved, I have steered away from eating a lot of bread. This weekend, a co-worker of my husbands was going out of town and allowed us to raid his garden! What vegetarian wouldn't take complete advantage of that type of offer?!? Along with a ton of other yummy veggies, we got some cucumbers and yellow/red grape tomatoes. They sat uneaten all weekend because it was a holiday weekend and an excuse to overindulge (well my excuse anyways). Today, after feeling the effects of the weekend festivities, I knew I needed to get back on track. I remembered an amazing post one of my best friends had shared of her cucumber bruschetta (bruschetta on sliced cucumber instead of bread), so I decided I would make a salad with the same ingredients that I use in my bruschetta! It turned out so well, there is none left! Enjoy!!
Cucumber Bruschetta Salad
Ingredients
3 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced
12 (or more as desired) grape tomatoes, halved
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
4 leaves of basil, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Hand grated parmesan cheese for topping
Combine all ingredients in a large, air tight container. Toss well to allow all ingredients to incorporate. Let stand for at least an hour in the fridge.
