Lactose
This recipe is safe for those who are lactose intolerant.Recipe Notes
This Tomato and White Bean Bruschetta is a great snack for those who are salty/savory snackers. The flavor is great, with a terrific combination of sweet tomato, sharp vinegar, and great olive oil combined with the umami in the garlic and beans. With all those strong flavors, the recipe doesn’t need a lot of added salt, partly because the parmesan brings so much salty taste to the bruschetta.
The result? A great snack with 6 grams of fiber.
There are a lot of ways to make this recipe your own. Try different herbs such as parsley, oregano or thyme or different beans such as garbanzo beans or lentils.
