This relish is a wonderful blend of fresh vegetables that can serve as a delightful topping for grilled meats or a refreshing side for any dish. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:
- 2 large cucumbers, diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by cleansing all your vegetables thoroughly. Dice the cucumbers, chop the onion, and dice the tomatoes. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even flavor throughout the relish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, chopped onion, and diced tomatoes. Gently stir to mix all the ingredients well.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. This will create a tangy dressing that complements the freshness of the vegetables.
