Tomato, Red Onion, and Basil Bruschetta

This vibrant tomato, red onion, and basil bruschetta is a celebration of simple, high-quality Mediterranean ingredients. By using a mix of cherry and grape tomatoes, you achieve a beautiful contrast in colour and a balanced sweetness that pairs perfectly with the sharp bite of red onion and aromatic fresh basil. Marinating the vegetables in balsamic vinegar and olive oil allows the natural juices to form a delicious dressing that soaks beautifully into the toasted bread.

As a versatile vegan starter or light lunch, this recipe swapped traditional baguette for fluffy focaccia to provide a more substantial, pillowy base. The secret to the deep flavour is rubbing the warm, grilled bread with fresh garlic, which provides a subtle savoury kick without overpowering the fresh herbs. Serve this dish as an elegant appetiser for a garden party or alongside a crisp green salad for a healthy, homemade midday meal.

How to make Tomato, Red Onion, and Basil Bruschetta

Combine halved tomatoes, finely chopped onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, chopped fresh basil, and balsamic vinegar in medium bowl; season tomato topping with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Topping can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally.
