Mix tomatoes, onions, and light dressing. Cover. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Top each cracker with about 1-teaspoon of the tomato mixture just before serving.

Jazz it up: Garnish each topped cracker with a fresh basil sprig just before serving. Or, stir 1-teaspoon chopped fresh basil or 1 clove minced garlic into tomato mixture before chilling.

 Notable Note

Bruschetta is also a means to use bread that is beginning to get stale by adding oil and seasonings to improve flavor. Many variations of bruschetta use uniquely flavored roasted or hard breads. A vegetable bruschetta might incorporate mushrooms, roasted peppers, and/or olives. Cheese topped versions can include feta, mozzarella, parmesan, or even blue cheese. The breads used for bruschetta vary; some recipes call for Italian, French, or baguette.
