This Chickpea Bruschetta is the perfect summer lunch recipe! Of course, bruschetta would normally be served as an appetizer, but the added protein from the beans makes this a perfect mid-day meal that takes just 5 minutes to put together. Instead of spending time chopping up fresh herbs, I used basil infused olive oil to add flavor and dimension. Your work day lunch has never felt so gourmet!
