Cucumber Bruschetta Bites
15 minServes 4
Do you love the taste and crunch of bruschetta, but want to avoid bread? Give this simple recipe a try — you'll be surprised!
Ingredients
- 3 large organic tomatoes
- 3 oz mozzarella cheese
- 2 tsp organic olive oil
- 6–8 organic basil leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large organic cucumbers
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
- 1Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese into a tiny dice and place into a bowl.
- 2Slice basil leaves into thin strips and add to the bowl.
- 3Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper and set aside.
- 4Slice cucumbers in half lengthwise, and again across, to make 4 pieces. Use a spoon to remove the seeds (do not discard — add to smoothies, or plant to get more cucumbers!) to make a cucumber 'boat.' Or slice across the cucumber to make discs.
- 5Pile the tomato mixture into the cucumber boats or onto the discs, and serve!
Jennifer's tip
The cucumber seeds you scoop out are great in smoothies — don't throw them away! And if you're using discs instead of boats, slice them about 1/2 inch thick so they're sturdy enough to hold the topping.
