Instructions
FIRST MARINATE THE TOMATOES
While you assemble the bruschetta board it'll have time to marinate. For even more flavor, tomatoes may be marined an hour in advance (time permitting). I used cherry tomatoes but grape tomatoes, campari tomatoes, and roma tomatoes work great too!
Quarter cherry tomatoes and slice onion into thin strips. Using the flat side of your knife, smash peeled garlic and finely mince. Season with a pinch of salt and add to a bowl with your veggies.
Add olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, Italian seasoning (I love Mrs. Dash) and fresh basil. Mix to coat the tomatoes and allow to sit while you prep your board.
THEN ASSEMBLE THE SNACK BOARD
Prepare any extra dips or bruschetta toppings you'd like from the list above (the links all lead to the recieps).
Warm baguette if desired (wrap in foil and slightly warm in oven) then cut into slices. Baguette slices may be drizzled with olive oil and toasted crostini style or served fresh and fluffy.
Add assorted cheeses and crackers, tasty edible garnishes, and anything your heart desires! Enjoy!
Notes
The above board is great for a date night in with some wine and a movie or as an appetizer/snack for a small gathering. To serve a larger group, feel free to double or triple the marinated tomatoes and grab extra baguette and extras.Nutrition Facts below are roughly estimated using an online recipe nutrition calculator.
