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

  1. 1Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese into a tiny dice and place into a bowl.
  2. 2Slice basil leaves into thin strips and add to the bowl.
  3. 3Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper and set aside.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
