Italian bruschetta are lightly toasted slices of bread that can be topped with a range of ingredients. Chickpeas, red onion, and a hit of fresh lemon star in this version. If you have other beans on hand, like small white beans, you can use them instead. You can turn bruschetta into lunch by serving them with a crisp green salad seasoned with vinegar and a touch of salt and topped with 1 tablespoon crumbled soft goat cheese.
