Y’all should know about me and my bruschetta addiction by now.

Whether it’s sweet bruschetta, savory bruschetta or a sweet-savory bruschetta combination, I’m all in for toasty bread and delicious toppings.

Honestly, though, who among us ISN’T up for that—assuming they don’t have an allergy or a dietary restriction that keeps them from enjoying it?

This Greek Bruschetta is a combination of two of my favorite things—a veggie-forward Greek salad and bread.

It also calls for hummus OR tzatziki—your choice! Personally, the tzatziki worked better for me, but my husband adored the bruschetta with hummus.

Our daughter liked both equally, so you’re in for a win either way!

Why not make a traditional bruschetta?

I’ve made a traditional bruschetta: Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta. I love tinkering with classics, as y’all know, and making all kinds of different bruschetta makes my heart and tummy happy.

What is tzatziki sauce?

Tzatziki is a Mediterranean sauce, normally served with grilled meats or as a dip. It features yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, a little olive oil, salt and an acidic piece. (I use vinegar in my tzatziki recipe, but I’ve seen it made with lemon juice.)

You’ll find tzatziki sauce variations in Greek cuisine, Turkish cuisine, the Balkans and the Middle East. They all highlight yogurt with cucumber.

I was first introduced to it in a Lebanese restaurant in Baton Rouge and haven’t looked back since.

It’s fabulous with Grilled Chicken Shawarma (or on a Chicken Shawarma Salad) or by itself as a dip for pitas or veggies.

Hummus and tzatziki sauce are spread on top of toasty baguette rounds before bruschetta is assembled.
