This is a simply delicious snack that people can rarely turn down.
Bread and tomatoes — is there a better combination? Bruschetta has been one of my favourite choice of appetizers for as long as I can remember.
The olive oil-drenched bread topped with diced tomatoes is a guaranteed recipe with which you can happily greet guests.
Or, if for yourself, makes for a tasty afternoon snack you don’t have to share.
