Spicy Vegetable Bruschetta image

This is a spicy vegetable Bruschetta that is almost like a salsa and is great served cold on sourdough bread, rye crackers or even with Recipe #263512. I came up with this recipe after being appalled at the price of a small jar of bruschetta at a grocery store. I looked at the ingredients and decided I could make that myself for less than half the cost. It is great for using up any leftover veggies (I make it with the salsa leftover from Recipe #306949) and is very forgiving if you don't have all the ingredients.
