Referenced by 2 other terms

Sweet pickle relish is a condiment of finely chopped pickled vegetables, usually cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers, cured in a sweetened vinegar brine with mustard seed, celery seed, and turmeric. It differs from savory dill relish mainly in sugar content, giving it a sweet-tart, tangy flavor and crunchy texture. In American cooking, sweet pickle relish tops hot dogs, hamburgers, and sandwiches, and is mixed into tuna salad, chicken salad, potato salad, and coleslaw. Recipes vary regionally in vegetable mix, spice blend, and sweetness level.
