Basic Tomato Bruschetta Dip instructions

1. After you chop your tomatoes, either take the back of a fork and mash them up a bit or use your knife in a rocking action to mash them. Doing this will give your dip some thickness and body to stick to your bread..
2. Put the tomatoes in a medium bowl and grate a small clove (or half a regular one) into the bowl. Preferable to grate rather than chop so you don't get chunks of garlic in the mixture..
3. Add salt and chopped basil, stir, give it a taste, and adjust seasoning if needed..
4. Pour a good glug or two of olive oil into the bowl (1.5 to 2 Tablespoons is good)..
5. Garnish with fresh basil and serve with bread of choice..
6. Enjoy!.
