    Learn why you want to use both red and orange tomatoes to make this simple summer tomato bruschetta recipe. It's one you will want to make over and over again.

    Tomato bruschetta

    There's nothing like a ripe summer tomato. One of my favorite ways to eat them is as bruschetta.

    I wish I could grow them here in Pennsylvania, however, I do not have space, nor enough sun to grow great big juicy tomatoes.

    Even the people I know who grow them here typically have to wait until August for their harvest, and by October, we sometimes have snow.

    So when we go to the beach in Virginia we always take advantage of the farmers market tomatoes and use them in everything from salads, on pasta, or even a good old BLT.

    I also like to make fresh tomato and basil pasta as often as possible when summer ripe tomatoes are available.

    Bruschetta is one of those great appetizers that is super simple to make and a big crowd pleaser. I typically pick up golden tomatoes along with several large red ones.

    Why? Well, golden tomatoes have less acid and pairs really well with the red. Also, the color contrast makes the overall dish look great.

    You can make this any time of year. Sometimes I will use heirloom grape tomatoes in the offseason, but they taste best with summer tomatoes fresh from the garden.
