Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumber, red onion, and red bell pepper.
Dice the cucumber into small, uniform 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and red bell pepper into small pieces, and add them to the bowl with the cucumber.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the chopped vegetables and toss everything gently to coat evenly.
Chop the fresh dill finely, then stir it into the relish mixture.
Let the relish sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Serve the cucumber relish as a topping for burgers, or use as a refreshing side dish.
