Smoked Salmon Bruschetta
Geneva Winery Bistro & Wine Bar presents a delightful twist to a culinary classic with its Smoked Salmon Bruschetta. This appetizer, blending simplicity and elegance, is a perfect choice for any gathering or a cozy dinner. The dish starts with the traditional base of bruschetta, a Neapolitan variation of the classic Roman garlic bread. Each slice of bread, brushed generously with olive oil, is toasted to a dark, crisp perfection on the grill. This creates a robust and flavorful foundation. The next layer is where the innovation shines through. Instead of the usual toppings, Geneva Winery opts for a lusciously smoked salmon, adding a rich and smoky flavor that pairs wonderfully with the crunchy toast. The smoked salmon is complemented with their signature fresh bruschetta sauce, a vibrant mix of diced tomatoes, garlic, red onion, mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, and basil. These fresh ingredients bring a burst of color and freshness, cutting through the richness of the salmon. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, making the Smoked Salmon Bruschetta a light yet satisfying appetizer, ideal for any occasion ensuring it’s as convenient as it is delicious.
