So a couple days ago, we went out and ordered Bruschetta. We always order a Bruschetta. Al.ways.

And that Bruschetta inspired this salad.

Avocado slices

So filling and healthy, I could live off this stuff. Well, if it wasn’t my heavy addiction to brownies and chocolate and all things unholy.

Brushing Sourdough over with Garlic infused olive oil (and some Garlic Butter from the Corn on The Cob recipe), this was the best way to enjoy Bruschetta without any building. Deconstructed Bruschetta.

Toasted bread pieces

Because who doesn’t love crunchy, crispy bread with their salad?

    What is balsamic glaze

    1. Karina says:

      Hey Becky 🙂 Balsamic glaze is a reduction of balsamic vinegar caramelised with sugar. Usually it’s found in supermarket/grocery stores! I hope this helps! Xx
