Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta

Tomato bruschetta with sliced rainbow heirlooms on crusty grilled bread.

This is not your standard tomato bruschetta. Usually when people think of their favorite antipasto bite, chopped tomatoes submerged in olive oil on sogging bread comes to mind.

But bruschetta has many different variations. The definition says that bruschetta is toasted bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil, I thought it would be fun to leave these beauties sliced large to show off their pretty illustrations.

I have been addictly in love with the tomatoes this season. The strawberries are sweeter, the corn is milkier (yes...milker) and the tomatoes, well, I think it's obvious how much I am loving fresh fruits and veggies.

I want people to enjoy and respect this gorgeous fruit as much as I do.

This bruschetta couldn't be any easier. Grill ciabatta and rub with a cut side of garlic. The heat from the bread slowly melts the garlic and permeates the bread. For the "glue", I used avocado tahini dressing, but I am sure that your favorite pesto or cheese bread would do wonders as well. Then you slice up your rainbow heirlooms and lay accordingly. Top with basil, olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Mmm....mangia!
