Greek Bruschetta

So, I think I’m back in business! I sent off my 1st grader to school this morning and now I’m dancing. By dancing, I mean trying to figure out whether I take a shower, fold laundry, finish unpacking or shooting a recipe that I started yesterday. This is my life guys. Constant go, more so now than ever. Is this how mom life is? Not going to lie, I’m sooooo looking forward to a little less chaotic days now that my kiddo is in school and the other one is finally settling into some kind of routine. That means more time for this little blog of mine. I have some new things lined up that I can’t wait to share with you guys. So stay tuned 🙂

Today though…let’s do some bruschetta. Not just any bruschetta but some Greek Bruschetta. It’s a different twist on the traditional tomato based bruschetta with all the favorite greek flavors! Also, this is my new favorite way to eat a greek salad. If you’re like me, holding on to the last days of summer then you have to make this delicious appetizer, which also doubles as a light meal (in my book). You can technically make this year round but there’s just something about summer veggies that make this extra sweet and juicy.

For the greek bruschetta topping, I went with a really basic greek salad recipe that consists of cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olives and feta. I used small, on the vine, campari tomatoes that are mildly sweet and less acidic and go absolutely delish with the rest of the ingredients. Everything tossed with a Greek Vinaigrette and served on a golden crisp crostini.

You can prepare the crostini the night before, cool and store in a ziploc bag. The bruschetta topping needs to be chilled for 30 minutes before serving.
