Pickle chutney and pickle spread are also things, but not all of them necessarily have the same chunkiness as bruschetta.

Its gotta be a thing
Branston Pickle is pretty chunky.
Here in the US you can usually find it in the section of the supermarket with UK imports.
It's not just pickled cucumber though, if that's what you're looking for specifically.
Im not super hung up on the pickles
So tapenade then?
Zesty dill pickle relish. But I don't think it would taste that good on just toast.
Maybe pico de Gallo? It's essentially the same exact thing as bruschetta, but instead of olive oil it has lemon and lime juice to add even more acidity. Not exactly "pickled" tho. And definitely has no pickles in it.
Could be
- pickle ๐ฅ
- artichoke dip or maybe goat cheese
- dill
I make a cream cheese pickle spread.
1 cup cream cheese (room temp)
3-5 large dill pickles, chopped
Small bunch fresh dill (I never have fresh, so I use dried)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Pickle brine as needed to get to desired consistency
- Add all ingredients to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to chop all ingredients and mix together.
I never have fresh, so I use dried
My wife has a dill addiction. Whenever we see fresh dill we buy it and have the "Dillening"....we buy 2-3 bunches of fresh dill and spend the evening drinking wine and stripping the fronds off the stems into a freezer bag. Lives in the freezer until she needs another hit. The Dillening occurs 3-6 times a year depending on how hard she's hitting it....
When I was a kid my grandfather had a large dill patch. It is something I have never tried to grow, but really should look into doing so.
In the Southern US there is a thing called chow chow. We will pickle anything.
Mixing it with the normal peppers, tomatoes, and onions sounds like it could be tasty. I'd probably prefer it with cucumbers instead if I went down that road.
Isn't that salsa? That's literally vinegar pickled bruscheta. Well, I guess it's got jalapeno.
Or you talking like a spread made from pickled cucumbers? That sounds a lot like relish.
