Italian One-Bowl Salsa Recipe Needed ASAP!

[janezapchef]

Does anyone remember the Italian version of the one-bowl salsa? It was going around last year, but I don't have time to hunt through all the threads to find it. I know it uses basil instead of cilantro. I need it for TONIGHT if possible.
TIA,
Jane

Anyone have any thoughts???

If I were making it, I'd take out the jalapeño, add a second clove of garlic and use basil instead of the cilantro. Maybe add a sprinkle of oregano or some black olives.There's an old PC recipe for artichoke salsa that's Italian-flavored. I have it on the back of my business cards.In a large bowl combine:
1 jar (6.5 oz) marinated artichoke hearts WITH marinade
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 of a small red onion
1-2 cups grape tomatoes
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 tablespoons fresh basil leavesChop with salad choppers until combined.

Do you mean Bruschetta?

I did this for shows several times.


1 Pint Grape Tomatoes
a handful of basil leaves
1-2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 small red onion
a drizzle of olive oil
a splash of balsamic vinegar

Use Salad Choppers for this the same way you would make the salsa.

Toast slices of french baguette on large bar pan (spritz with a bit of garlic or basil oil first) and serve with Bruschetta Topping.
