Bruschetta Salad...a no recipe, recipe


Forgive the iphone pic..eeek!!!!

Finally! I'm back! I have no good reason for my blogging hiatus unless you consider lazy summer days a worthy excuse! Many of my summer menu items are no recipe kind of dishes. I haven't shared any until now but decided these kind of recipes are what everyone needs this time of year!

Bruschetta salad is one of our favorites to have as a summer lunch, light dinner, or as a hearty appetizer. In season tomatoes combined with fresh basil and mozzarella define the flavors of summer in my mind. Add as much or ad little of each ingredient as you like. You really can't mess this fish up. Enjoy!
