Tomato Basil Bruschetta with Whipped Ricotta and Mighty Salt™
This Tomato Basil Bruschetta with Whipped Ricotta and Mighty Salt™ is a vibrant, flavor-packed appetizer that blends rustic charm with gourmet flair. Perfect for entertaining or elevating a simple meal, it features crusty toasted bread topped with creamy whipped ricotta, juicy marinated tomatoes, and a final flourish of Mighty Salt™ for a bold, balanced finish.
The foundation is a baguette or rustic sourdough, sliced and toasted until golden and crisp, providing the perfect vehicle for the toppings. The ricotta is whipped with a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper until light, smooth, and luxurious. This creamy base contrasts beautifully with the fresh tomato topping — a mix of cherry tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, and a sprinkle of Mighty Salt™, all allowed to marinate and meld for maximum flavor.
What sets this bruschetta apart is the finishing touch: a sprinkle of Mighty Salt™, a premium salt known for its delicious Umami flavor. It enhances the sweetness of the tomatoes and balances the richness of the ricotta, tying all the components together in a harmonious bite.
Ideal for late summer when tomatoes are at their peak, this dish also transitions beautifully into spring gatherings or year-round small plates. It’s easy to prepare, customizable, and guaranteed to impress with its vibrant colors, textures, and layers of flavor. Serve it as an appetizer, snack, or even a light lunch with a crisp glass of white wine or sparkling water. Pair with our delicious Dash™ Mediterranean Kale and Roasted Chickpea Power Bowl for a healthy and delicious meal.
