Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The relish may release some water over time; drain excess liquid before serving if desired.

Variations: Add diced jalapeños or serrano peppers for extra heat. For a sweeter profile, increase the sugar slightly or add a diced tomato.

Tip: Use young, tender zucchini for the best texture. Larger zucchini may have more seeds and a softer texture.
