How to Make Bruschetta Caprese
Don’t let the complex flavors and the elegant name fool you, Bruschetta alla Caprese is not a complicated appetizer to make. Bruschetta makes a great “snacketizer” for having friends over for an evening chat on the deck with a bottle of Chianti.
*Tip: If you or your guests have dairy sensitivities, you can easily prepare this using avocado instead of fresh mozzarella. It’s amazing. Just make sure you coat the chopped avocado in lemon juice before adding it to the salad so it doesn’t go brown.
To Make Ahead
If you know you’ll be in a rush, but you want your bruschetta to be fresh, not mushy, try preparing the ingredients separately, up to 24 hours ahead, and then assemble as directed just before serving:
To Store Bruschetta
One of the best things about this bruschetta is its freshness, so it’s best to serve it on the day of preparation. Tomatoes do not freeze well to eat as bruschetta however if you have leftovers, you can freeze them and add them to pasta sauce, marinara sauce or soup.
