Passed on by my Aunt Carol through our family reunion cookbook. The perfect sweet relish for adding to tuna fish sandwiches, tuna macaroni salad, burgers, and hot dogs.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Whether it's used as a topping for burgers or hot dogs, a mix-in for salads, or a standalone side dish, this sweet cucumber relish will impress guests. It has a balance of sweet and tangy flavors combined with a crunch of cucumbers and notes of onions and bell peppers. The hint of flavor from the celery and mustard seeds is an unexpected twist. This simple relish will be a tasty addition to summer cookout menus.
