California Bruschetta

Print Options
Description
My bruschetta recipe has a little Cali twist to it by adding black olives and avocado and placing it on homemade flatbread chips.
Avocados are another one of the world’s magic fruits. They have a lot of healthy monounsaturated fats, and also vitamin K, folate, potassium, vitamin E, lutein, magnesium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. WHOA.
This is a great summery appetizer, light lunch or side dish!
Ingredients
- FOR THE CHIPS:
- 3 pieces Whole Wheat Flatbread Rounds
- ¼ cups Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Johnny Salt (or Seasoning Equivalent)
- _____
- FOR THE BRUSCHETTA:
- 1-½ cup Chopped Grape Tomatoes
- 1 whole Avocado, Diced Into 1/4 Inch Pieces
- 2 cloves Garlic, Smashed And Minced
- 1 cup Sliced Black Olives
- ¼ cups Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Preparation
For chips: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and cut each flatbread round into 8 slices (like a pizza). Place slices onto baking sheet and brush on olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoning salt. Bake for ~7 minutes, or until lightly brown and crispy.
For bruschetta: Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and gently fold to mix.
Add 2 tablespoons bruschetta to each chip.

You can omit the olives– it will be a little bit more of a salsa that way- but yummy just the same! You may want to decrease the balsamic vinegar to 3 Tbsp, however.

I do not like olives. Would you recommend leaving them out, or substituting an alternative ingredient?
