Turn that garden bounty into a refreshing and lovely meal by using cucumbers as a serving base for a delightful bruschetta-like topping.
This recipe was shared with Guiding Stars by Evie Clark as part of the Guiding Stars Associate BBQ “Stars on the Side” Recipe Contest.
Tip: This recipe will look fresher made with white balsamic vinegar, but if you don’t have any on hand, regular balsamic will taste just as good.

- 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup finely chopped zucchini
- ½ cup corn
- ¼ cup shredded carrot
- 3 Tbsp. sliced fresh basil
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 2 large cucumbers, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 4 Kalamata olives, sliced
