    5-Minute Vegan Gluten Free Bruschetta without Bread

    Get ready to eat some healthy and extra flavorful 5-minute vegan gluten free bruschetta without bread!

    Typically this is a dish made with crostini, which is toasted baguette cut into small slices. But since mama can't have gluten, I figured out a different, better way to make traditional bruschetta with all the crunch and satisfaction. It's the perfect way to celebrate Summer solstice! I know I will be snacking on this all summer long.

    Items you need to make vegan gluten free bruschetta without bread

    • Mini heirloom tomatoes - these make this dish a beautiful appetizer if you need something colorful for your table.
    • Olive oil - Who else here is an olive oil snob? The quality makes a difference! Invest in the good stuff, especially for bruschetta!
    • Balsamic vinegar - I get the Kirkland balsamic vinegar at Costco and love their quality.
    • Garlic
    • Fresh basil - freshly picked basil from the garden is one of my favorite smells in the ENTIRE WORLD. It's the key to making a dreamy, I'm-on-vacation-in-the-Italian-countryside bruschetta.
    • Sea salt flakes - You can totally use regular old table salt, BUT. Sea salt makes it even better tasting. Get the flakes! They melt quickly and have a fantastic flavor.
    • Gluten free crackers - I used the Tuscan Peasant crackers from Crunchmaster for this particular recipe, and I. AM. OBSESSED. I also buy their Original Multigrain flavor at Costco, which would work well for this recipe, too. These crackers are gluten free, nut free, and vegan! Perfect to use for dips all summer long, especially if you have guests who have specific dietary restrictions. Click here to see all of their flavors and use their store locator to find where you can buy them. (If they aren't at your Costco or you want a fancy flavor.)

    The best knife for slicing tomatoes

    Before I started cooking (read: when I was in my early 20's), I had one knife only. It was a dull paring knife that I used to cut EVERYTHING. Including tomatoes. Have you ever tried cutting into a tomato with a dull knife? I might as well have used a side of the cardboard from my cereal box. What was left of my perfect tomato was a sad pile of juicy, red mush and seeds.

    I have since matured and broadened my kitchen accessories. Puh-lease, for the love of good tomatoes and bruschetta, use a serrated tomato knife when you dice your tomatoes for this recipe! This one is good and only $7. You're welcome.

        I made this one more mild, but add the red onion if you like that extra bite! 🙂
