If you love the appetizer table at parties, this simple bruschetta salad recipe is for you.
Bruschetta Salad Recipe
I like to think of this bruschetta salad as the Italian version of Pico de Gallo. While this salad recipe includes a little chopped red onion, you can leave it out if your family isn't a fan. The flavors will still be spot on!
Ingredients
To make this fresh salad, you’ll need cherry or grape tomatoes (heirloom, vine, and Roma also work), red onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and fresh basil.
How to Make Bruschetta Salad
First, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and chop the fresh basil. Then, place them in a large bowl, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and toss to combine.
What to Serve with This Tomato Salad
Traditionally, bruschetta salad is topped over toasted bread, but you can serve it with baked chicken or baked fish, tossed with cooked pasta, added to cooked couscous, or over a meal-prepped salad.

This salad might be my new favorite! The balsamic mixed with the acidity of the tomatoes was out of this world. Perfect summer salad!

It’s there, to taste. In the recipe card. I did not write it in the post itself as a bulleted/noted ingredient. Enjoy!
