If you do not want to make the tomato topping a tomato topping mix made especially for bruschetta. I have found a brand that is hearty and tasty. Try Elki brand, there are several flavors but mine if Piquillo Jalapeno Bruchetta topping. This is perfect for a hot chicken wing dip also. If your wings are hotter than you like them, use mix as, if not add a couple of shakes of hot pepper sauce to the mix.
