Bruschetta salata

For a simple and quick snack or light meal, try Adam Liaw's bruschetta salata, which takes inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures. Packed with plenty of finely chopped vegetables, top it off with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses and a sprinkle of za'atar for a flavoursome punch.
