tomato bruschetta salad
Serve as a side to roasted or grilled meats or as a starter with crusty, artisan bread. This simple, delicious salad can be made several hours ahead of time & stored in a sealed container in the fridge. It can also be warmed & served as a sauce over grilled chicken or steak. Or, stir through cooked pasta. The whole premise of the salad though is its ease. Serves 4 to 6, depending on what else you're serving with it.
