Delicious as well as beautiful bruschettaThere is only one word to describe this bruschetta, and that is YUM! It is so easy, nutritious, and satisfying especially if you have a jar of one of the pestos such as the Garlic Pesto on hand. The tomatoes must be vine-ripened and full flavored for best results. If you prefer, fresh mozzarella cheese can be used in place of the ricotta for a Caprese style bruschetta. These make impressively delicious snacks or starters without a lot of work.
If all the ingredients are ready, the diners can assemble their own bruschetta. It is another do-it-yourself food that children love to do on their own. Wholesome and delicious, what is not to love?
