Strawberry Basil Bruschetta Recipe

A few weeks back, I had some lovely ladies over for a Favorite Things Party. While I prepped my new go-to favorite Balsamic Tomato Bruschetta recipe, I also took the opportunity to whip up something a bit sweeter:

STRAWBERRY BASIL BRUSCHETTA

No tomatoes here but still utter deliciousness.

This one is a cinch to pull together and pairs great with goat cheese. It's also a beautiful spring or summer recipe for when you have guests over. Give it a whirl, even in your skeptical, I'm telling you- it's the bees knees of bruschetta.

While you're at it, serve it up with some Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade Sangria out on the back porch. That defines relaxing for me, for sure.
