This is a deliciously tangy and colourful relish. It is the go-to condiment for hot dogs, burgers and any cold or cured meat that could do with a little relish. It is simple to make. You simply chop your vegetables and add them to the vinegar spice mixture. This is a brilliant way to use those larger zucchinis you discover hiding under their giant leaves.
