This dish incorporates the salty Italian ingredients normally seen in a puttanesca pasta sauce, but without the tomatoes. Bruschetta is a simple, staple meal that can be served at lunch, as a light evening dish or as a starter, and it is a great way of using up any leftover bread that you have. It really doesn’t matter if the bread is white or brown, but don’t use sliced bread, it is too thin and will burn. The bright green parsley dressing on this bruschetta really stands out and takes this dish to another level.
