The was so much gorgeous fresh fruit at the market today I just had to do some experimenting. So, I combined white peaches and heirloom tomatoes to make a really fresh tasking bruschetta. The flavors really work well together. The right amount of salt was also key for me…just enough to brighten the flavors of everything, but no too much so that all I was tasting was salt. If you like this combination, definitely do some experimenting on your own. The combinations are limitless.

1 lg Clove Garlic, peeled and slightly smashed
