                                 Bruschetta is an Italian Appetizer(any time snack or starter)It is very very simple and easy  to make and one way of making the kids eat raw tomatoes.It is made with toasted bread with a coat of olive oil and tomatoes with spices on top of it.I recently tasted it in a Italian Restaurant so wanted to try it at home and post it too!

  •  Add shredded cheese and refrigerate the tomato salad.
  • Cut the french bread in to slices and roast them in the top rack of the oven.
