Winter Market Bruschetta
A fabulous, fresh appetizer, perfect anytime of year, but especially wonderful in the off-season, when warm, sunny skies and fresh produce seem like a distant memory.

Ingredients
- 1 small yellow bell pepper diced small, about ¼ inch
- 1 small red bell pepper diced small, about ¼ inch
- 1 small red onion diced small, about ¼ inch
- 1 medium seedless cucumber unpeeled diced small, about ¼ inch
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 2 ounces Feta* cheese diced small, about ¼ inch or crumbled
- fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except herbs and Feta in a medium size bowl and stir to combine.
- Add herbs (reserve about 1 teaspoon for garnish, if desired) and Feta. Stir gently to combine. Drizzle with a little more olive oil. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and reserved herbs. Serve with crostini or pita chips. Serves 6-8 as an appetizer.
Notes
Look for Feta cheese in bulk rather than crumbled. If you can't find the bulk, just sprinkle the crumbled over the top instead of mixing in with the other ingredients.
