The BEST fresh garden bruschetta

Hi Besties! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE fresh homemade bruschetta. I always thought that I didn’t like tomatoes, but once I tried making it myself with fresh tomatoes straight from the garden – wow! What a difference. This is an old family recipe that my mom has made forever, but I tweaked it slightly based on my preferences.

Tips to making the garden bruschetta

You seriously can use any tomatoes from your garden. I typically use beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes, but this time I used a mixture of beefsteak and sungold cherry tomatoes and it came out amazing! The sun gold cherries added a little extra sweetness which was a nice touch.

I’m a pretty slow chopper and there is a decent amount of chopping involved with dicing all of the tomatoes, but it is SO worth it.

You can chop the tomatoes to any size you like in your bruschetta. Feel free to experiment – it all tastes the same!!


Don’t overthink this easy recipe – proportions don’t have to be exact, you really can’t go wrong!
