Bruschetta Dip is a quick, fresh, and flavorful appetizer made with juicy tomatoes, basil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. It’s perfect for scooping with toasted bread, crackers, or veggies, and comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh tomatoes, diced (Roma or cherry tomatoes preferred)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup red onion or shallot, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup mozzarella pearls or crumbled feta
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • For serving: toasted baguette slices, pita chips, or crackers

Instructions

  1. Dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Drain off any excess liquid to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  2. Add chopped basil, minced garlic, red onion, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
  3. Season with salt and black pepper, and gently mix everything together.
  4. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Longer resting time enhances the taste.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with extra olive oil or balsamic vinegar for a glossy finish.
  6. Serve with toasted baguette slices, pita chips, or crackers.

Notes

  • Use Roma or cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and less liquid.
  • Chilling the dip helps the flavors develop more deeply.
  • Add optional cheese for a richer twist.
  • Stir before serving if stored in the fridge to redistribute flavors and liquid.
  • Not recommended to reheat; best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
