This Bruschetta Dip captures the essence of summer tomatoes in a scoopable, shareable form. A quick rest allows salt to concentrate the tomato flavors, creating a rich and cohesive dip without extra ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Roma tomatoes, diced (or 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced small
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (for deeper flavor)

Instructions

  1. Dice tomatoes into small uniform pieces and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let rest for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. Add minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and tomato paste to the tomatoes. Stir gently to combine. Let rest another 10 minutes.
  3. Fold in diced mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh basil until just combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with pepper and additional salt if needed.
  4. Let the dip rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

The resting time is essential for flavor development. For make-ahead, prepare the tomato mixture without cheese and basil up to 24 hours in advance, then add them before serving. Serve with crostini, tortilla chips, pita chips, or cucumber slices.
