CANTASOLE TIPS

– There are different varieties of tomatoes and each one is special. Cherry tomatoes are the best for bruschetta, however usually they can be replaced with large tomatoes. The advised quantity for 4 bruschette is 4 large, firm and ripe tomatoes.

– If fresh basil is not easy to find, arugula can be a great replacement. Wash and chop some arugula and set aside for final garnish. Add the arugula on top of the tomatoes to serve.

– Last but not least…if you have extra time, leave the tomato mix for 10 min in the fridge before serving your bruschetta. That way the ingredients will have the time to blend even better. You will taste the difference.
