Hey all!
I have been loving eating bruschetta the passed few years but unfortunately, I discovered that one of the main ingredients, avocado, is related to one of my food intolerances. After cutting it out and introducing it several times my body doesn't seem to work, ever.
During the summer, my partner and I love to be able to have bruschetta and because I found this out I have experimented with a few alternatives and for those that can't have avocado, this is a great way to eat bruschetta on a warm summer day!
