The first time I tasted brushetta was at “Olive Garden” restaurant a few years ago. We loved it and the added bonus was that my son liked it too. Since then I have made this at home with my combination of ingredients and it has been a complete hit every time. Adjust the ingredients according to taste and you can also add herbs of choice. Overall it is a very versatile dish and it was one of the few dishes that came to my mind for Kid’s Delight since my son loved it a lot. Off to the recipe.
