I came up with this recipe when I lived in Los Angeles, CA. It makes a great appetizer and is easy to make!

Comments from the Test Kitchen:
This bruschetta recipe is different from others I've made in that it introduces capers and a healthy amount of Parmigianino reggiano. It was a refreshing change from the traditional recipe, and I predict it would be a real hit at your next gathering![Read more about this recipe in Janet's Notebook!]

Directions
In a bowl, put tomatoes, capers and green onions. Add the juice of one lemon and the olive oil. Then add the garlic and fresh basil. Toss well. Season with just a pinch or so of kosher salt. (Be sure to rinse the capers or bruschetta will be too salty.) Serve with toasty bread and sprinkle with fresh parmesan. Yummy.
