SWEET ZUCCHINI RELISH

Sweet Zucchini Relish image

Classic relish is made with cucumbers, but this tangy and sweet zucchini relish is packed with zucchini, peppers and onions. I use it on burgers, on sandwiches and in any recipes that normally call for pickle relish. -Jyl Basinger, Cave City, Arkansas
