RECIPE - Bruschetta

Bruschetta is one of my favourite things, which I thought would be a no go on Slimming World, but I've come up with this recipe, which uses 1 HEXB choice, and other than that is syn free. It's not quite the same thing, but still well worth it.

Ingredients
2 slices 400g loaf  from HEXB choice (I use WW thick wholemeal)
1 clove garlic
1 red onion
8-10 chopped cherry/plum tomatoes (different sizes and colours if you can)
Lemon Juice
Chilli Flakes
Salt & Pepper

Method
  1. Finely dice the onion and roughly chop the tomatoes. Add to a mixing bowl along with a squeeze of lemon juice, chilli flakes, salt and pepper and mix through.
  2. Toast the bread until nice and crispy
  3. Chop the garlic clove in half, and then slowly rub over the toasted bread. The sharpness of the bread acts as a mini-grater, and you will soon smell the garlic filling the air
  4. Spoon the bruschetta mix over the toast. Any leftover mix is great added to soups and salads
Optional Extra
Use a HEXA of grated cheese before you put the bruschetta mix on, and pop under the grill until melted for a cheesey bruschetta.
