Bruschetta Ingredients (use vegan versions): chopped fresh tomatoes
chopped onions
peeled and diced cucumbers
lots of fresh chopped basil
a loaf of vienna bread
olive oil
red wine vinegar
Directions:There a million variations on this recipe. My husband and I made one up. The trick is to get the vegan bread slices crusty.
Combine the chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, diced cucumbers with a bit of vegan red wine vinegar in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and the basil.
Toast the vienna vegan bread in slices which are thick in the toaster first, Then brush the slices qith a bit of olive oil and broil until nice and crusty.
The tomato mixture can be put on the broiled hot slices as a cold mixture, or you can slightly broil the topped slices again. Serve as a side dish to any entree.
Dont the cucumbers make this recipe a little soggy?

I make mine a little differently. After chopping tomatoes and green onions, I add add cajun salt. Aftetoasting the vegan bread wth a drizzle of relyy goo olive oil, I top it with the tomato mixture and throw it under the broiler again. YUM!

Try adding some mushrooms that have been lightly sauted in butter, or soy margarine. Tastes really great that way too!

Bonnie: Cucumbers are crispy, not soggy. I dare not ask what sort of cucumbers you have eaten in your lifetime [chuckles] Very good bruschetta. Keep it up.

sounds good, but I would most certainly add lots of fresh, chopped/crushe'd garlic to this. Thats my favorite part of bruchetta! yum.
