Notes
Fridge: Fresh bruschetta is best enjoyed within a few hours of serving. You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days but it's not ideal. The tomatoes start to break down quickly.
Freezer: Technically you can freeze bruschetta but we do not recommend it. The tomatoes will break down when frozen and when you thaw the mixture it will be watery. The herbs won't be as vibrant and fresh-tasting either.
