Walnut Brushetta

My father is a huge Seinfeld fan.  It is almost always playing in the background, if he is in the house.  Well, if you watch Seinfeld religiously like he does, and we'll I do too, you must have seen the episode on the Calzone.  Well, ever since that episode, my father has been telling me to make him calzones! So, tonight I am trying out calzones for the family.  We like doing theme nights, and Italian is always a favorite so along with calzones I am making garlic bread and brushetta.  Here is the recipe for the brushetta I just whipped up.  This is a great appetizer or starter for any night, especially when you're featuring an Italian dish.  The walnuts give it a nice taste and texture.  Serve with a toasted baguette or some garlic bread to top them off just perfect!



3-4 small tomatoes, diced, heart removed
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
2 tablespoons walnuts, finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon basil
2 teaspoon lemons

Chopped the onion and tomatoes quite small and place in a small bowl.  Still in the walnuts and spices, adding each to taste.  Place in the fridge until ready to serve!
