This delicious garden relish recipe is made with cucumbers, green tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The relish is easy to make with a grinder or food processor, and it makes a wonderful hot dog relish. Or, use the relish in salads such as egg salad, or in a tartar sauce or similar sauce.
This is an excellent way to use late garden vegetables.
