Vegan Bruschetta is a perfect appetizer or a main course, depending on how and what you serve it with. Although most bruschetta has cheese, using creative, savory ingredients, can turn a fattening snack into a tasty meal.
I prefer to make smaller portions with a variety of ingredients. If you are serving bruschetta to guests, bite sized pieces are perfect. So, why not mix up the toppings to make a colorful meal?
Any typical bruschetta can be made colorful and beautiful. For instance, pick a theme; Greek or Italian; Mexican or Asian. Anything works on a small piece of crusty bread.
The toppings are the key. Leave off the the oil and the cheese, and you have created a low-fat delicious meal. The freshest ingredients make the tastiest snacks.
