Olive Garden's Bruschetta

3 Roma tomatoes, finely diced (about 1 ½ cups)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp fresh basil, minced

2 tsp garlic, minced

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

2 tsp marinated sun dried tomatoes, diced

pinch dried parsley flakes

2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

9-10 slices ciabatta bread (or Italian bread)



Toss diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt in a bowl. Cover and chill for about 1 hour.



Preheat oven to 450F



Mix Parmesan cheese with dried parsley in a small bowl. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet.



Sprinkle some of the Parmesan cheese mixture over each bread slice. Bake for 5 minutes or until the bread starts to crisp.



Pour tomato mixture into a serving dish, straining off the excess liquid, and serve it with the toasted bread slices.
