I always keep a jar of salsa in my pantry. There are so many ways to use it. I love this simple recipe. Try it with tortilla chips, on a sandwich or on a taco.

Ingredients:

  • 1 jar salsa, your favorite kind
  • 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 3-4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh basil to garnish
  • Toasted Italian bread

Instructions:

Spoon out the amount of salsa you need to top 8 slices of bread, about ½ cup. Save the rest for later. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Place equal amounts on the toast, top with a slice of mozzarella and garnish with basil.

Terri’s Tips:

You can use the garlic that is chopped and ready to use or fresh garlic and mince yourself.

If you don’t have fresh basil, use a sprinkle of dried basil
