Ikra is similar to bruschetta, caponata, or salsa. It\u2019s a sort of relish dish that can be served alone or on crackers, toast, or soft bread. This traditional Slavic recipe is made with fresh zucchini, bell peppers, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, and onion. It\u2019s a wonderful accompaniment to a main course, and it makes a delicious relish to include on a charcuterie plate.<\/p>\n<cite><a
