Make our\u00a0tomato mozzarella basil bread<\/a>\u00a0for a party, family dinner or even a tasty midday snack.\r\n

How to Choose Fresh Ingredients<\/h3>\r\nThe trick to taking bruschetta from good to great is in the freshness of the ingredients.\r\n\r\nTomatoes:<\/strong> While the best tomatoes are synonymous with farmers markets, you can also get great finds at the supermarket. Look for ones that are locally grown, which means they'll be ripened on the vine and bursting with flavor. Pick ones that have deep, rich color and are plump and unmarked. They should also have a sweet scent; if the fruit lacks smell, it will probably lack flavor.\r\n\r\nMozzarella:<\/strong> You'll know it's fresh when it's floating in a container with liquid that looks like water. Keep the mozzarella in this container and eat within three days.\r\n\r\nBasil:<\/strong> Of course, there's no better trick to getting fresh basil than to grow it yourself<\/a>. If that isn't an option, stand your store-bought basil in a glass with fresh water, and cover the \"bouquet\" loosely with a plastic bag. This will let it stay flavorful for up to a week.\r\n
