One of my favorite and healthy snack is freshly made easy Bruschetta (pronounced brew~sket~tah) recipe. we made this often in our little restaurant in Broni. This crowd pleaser is great for a potluck or a summer backyard gathering. The beauty of Bruschetta recipe is its tasty simplicity, just four ingredients and no cooking required. You must have the best ingredients, especially a perfectly ripe tomatoes, and a good quality olive oil otherwise the flavor will be dull.
