Bruschetta (pronounced as Bru-Sketta) is an Italian snack or appetizer, eaten before dinner. It is known as an antipasto in Italy. Whoever has been to Italy will know that Bruschetta is a staple menu found in every restaurant. Since the Bruschetta is of Italian heritage, it has spread throughout the world and has a very simple preparation or recipe, it is available in numerous variations, as well.
Bruschetta is also a nutritious snack since fresh tomatoes are in it. 1/4th of a medium-sized tomato eaten in Bruschetta consists of just (6) calories and small amounts of fat. It also contains trace quantities, folate, and fiber, of vitamins A, C, and K. So Bruschetta is a healthy appetizer, perfect for those who are on a quest to combat obesity. It is essentially perfect for everyone who wants to stay safe. I watch what I eat, and this helps me a lot whenever I’m busy. I hope you’ll make a version of this recipe for Bruschetta Salad.
