Description

This fresh tomato relish is a bright, no-cook condiment that brings a burst of summer flavor to any meal. By blending ripe tomatoes with crisp green bell peppers and onions, you create a textured sauce that is both refreshing and zesty. The addition of vinegar, celery seed, and a touch of sugar balances the acidity and enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables. It serves as an excellent topping for grilled meats, fish, or even as a side for sandwiches. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual gatherings, this relish requires minimal prep and no cooking, allowing the fresh flavors to shine through.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the chopped onion, green bell pepper, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper into the container of a blender.
  2. Pulse the blender until the onion and pepper are coarsely chopped, being careful not to puree them.
  3. Add the tomatoes to the blender container.
  4. Pulse briefly until the tomatoes are coarsely chopped and well incorporated with the other ingredients.
  5. Transfer the relish to a bowl or serving dish.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Note

For best results, use ripe, firm tomatoes for a better texture and flavor.

If the relish appears too watery after blending, let it sit in a fine-mesh strainer for 10-15 minutes to drain excess liquid before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will intensify slightly over time.

You can adjust the heat level by adding a small amount of hot sauce or fresh chili peppers if desired.
