Kristine's Notes:

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!

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.

Thanks, Janet! People do really eat this one up...and it is different from typical bruschettas, still incorporating those Mediterranean flavors. I'm glad you liked it!
