Yields: 16 portions
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Village Farms sinfully sweet campari® tomatoes
- 10 oz. Village Farms cherry no. 9 fall in love again® tomatoes
- 10 oz. Village Farms heavenly villagio marzano® tomatoes

- ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
- ¼ cup Fresh basil, finely chopped
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- ¼ tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Each different tomato variety will take a different type of dice: dice the campari tomatoes into small cubes, cut the mini san marzano tomatoes into ½" coins by cutting them on a cross section; cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters (to make wedges); cut the cabernet estate reserve™ tomatoes into quarters and then in half again to make them quite fine.
- Toss tomatoes with olive oil and vinegar at least an hour before serving so they have a chance to assimilate.
- Add the basil just prior to serving.
- Scoop onto toasted bruschetta and serve.
