by karen | Jun 13, 2013 | Food

Bruschetta

3 large heirloom or garden grown tomatoes, chopped

About 15 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade (cut into long strips)

2-3 garlic cloves, peeled & finely chopped

3 Tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp Balsalmic Vinegar

Sea salt, to taste

To prepare bruschetta combine chopped tomato, chopped basil leave strips, peeled garlic into a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with salt to taste. Gently mix together just to combine flavors.  I suggest making this ahead of time so you can let the flavors combine. At least a couple hours in advance for best taste.

Grilled Chicken Breast

4 Chicken Breasts

Juice and zest from one lemon

1 garlic clove crushed

3 Tbsp fresh basil finely chopped

Sea Salt and Pepper to Taste

Walnut Oil

Marinade Chicken in above ingredients for 30 minutes to 24 hours. Grill chicken until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.

Zucchini Noodles

4 Medium to Large Zucchini

1 tsp coconut oil

Garlic Salt

Olive Oil

Prepare Zucchini by slicing thinly or using this amazing tool! Or cut into think strips using a knife.

Melt coconut oil in pan and saute zucchini until warmed through- approximately 2 minutes. You want your zucchini to be al dente so do not overcook!  Season with garlic salt and drizzle with olive oil.

Place a small amount of noodles on your plate and top with chicken and bruschetta! Amazingly easy and fresh springtime meal.
