My favourite bruschetta recipe

My friends Kaylene and Nicky are big fans of bruschetta. So whenever they come over, I make it for them for lunch.
So since I have this blog, I thought why not share the yumminess!

Ingredients
Two cups of cherry toms. Washed and halved
Handful of basil leaves washed and tear into small pieces. Do not chop or they bruise and turn black.
1/2 a small red onion diced
1-2 avocados diced
Half a block of goats cheese feta
1/3 cup cranberries (optional)
1T balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1-2T pumpkin seeds (optional)
I have also used walnuts toasted and chopped for a bit of crunch
1/2 clove of garlic - cut in half and store aside until bread is toasted.
Turkish bread slices or bread slices whatever is in your pantry. My hubby loves this with sourdough bread.

Method
1. Throw everything into a bowl including the olive oil and toss through. Keep GARLIC separate.
2. Toast bread.
3. Take the garlic clove half and using the raw side from the middle, and rub it over the toasted bread.
4. Scoop spoonfuls of the bruschetta topping onto the toast.
5. Drizzle with extra olive oil if you wish.
