This is a nice fresh bruschetta! I brushed the olive oil and garlic on the bread before toasting. I tasted the veggie mixture before topping the bread and thought it needed a little something so I added just a few dashes of balsamic vinegar and that did the trick. I thought the cucumber was an unusual addition but it added a nice little crunch. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
