Shepherd Salad Bruschetta

This is a hybrid dish between the typical Turkish salad and the Italian bruschetta. It makes a fabulously refreshing, healthy lunch or dinner on a hot summer day and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. Super easy!

you need:
1 tomato
1/2 small cucumber
2 sprigs of fresh basil
olive oil
1/2 dark baguette
salt
1 lime
one pinch of sprouts

Cut the baguette in half lengthwise. Cut tomato and cucumber into cubes. Chop basil. Sprinkle olive oil on the baguette (instead of butter), spoon the veggies onto the baguette, let them spill (they will be too much to fit on it). Put basil on top. Sprinkle some salt over it, sprinkle olive oil over the veggies, cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over it, top with sprouts. Buon appetito/Afiyet olsun!
