A Taste of Yellow is a blogging event in support of LiveSTRONG Day on May 13th. Hosted by Barbara of Winos and Foodies, she invites food and wine bloggers to make yellow food to show their support.
LiveSTRONG Day is the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s one-day grassroots initiative to raise awareness and funds for the fight against cancer. A worthy cause indeed.
My contribution to the event is the Yellow Tomato Brushchetta. It’s got beautiful colors, tasty flavors, simple and fresh ingredients. It’s a quick and easy recipe for sharing with a group of friends or family. Food has always brought people together to celebrate, mourn or support life’s events, great and small. A Taste of Yellow is a great one.
Yellow Tomato Bruschetta
Makes 16 pieces
4 ripe medium sized yellow tomatoes, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 French bread baguette
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, oil and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste, set aside.
Slice the bread into 16 pieces about a 1/4 inch thick and place on a baking sheet. Toast the bread in the oven for about 2 minutes on each side. Top with the tomato mixture. Or serve family style with the tomatoes in one bowl and the bread in another and everyone can just help themselves.
I don’t chop the kale leaves for my smoothies.
I remove the hard vein and blend it raw.
Thanks VeganTickles! I’ll give it a try soon.
Yellow tomatoes are a great idea for this blog event!
A great yellow idea for Bruchetta. It looks wonderful. Thanks for supporting LiveSTRONG With A Taste Of Yellow.
Thanks! I’m happy to be part of such a great event. Can’t wait to see all of the other entries.
I have a big soft spot for vegan food, despite being a meat eater so I am happy to discover your blog which Barbara says is out of SF – is that right? A friend is taking me to ‘covert a carnivore’ night at Millenium tomorrow. I am not sure it will work, since I tried veganism before and didn’t ultimately last, but I love their appetizers anyway.
sam – Yes, I’m located in the SF bay area. I’m drooling just at the thought of eating at Millennium. Their food is absolutely delicious, the tasting menu is a great way to try a little bit of everything.
Of all the places to be a vegan, the bay area is one of the best – between all the different restaurants, farmers markets and Asian grocery stores – it makes it fairly easy or easier than other places.
wonderful issues altogether, you just received a logo new reader. What could you suggest in regards to your put up that you simply made a few days in the past? Any sure?
