Dill Pickle Relish

Dill pickle relish is a finely chopped condiment made from pickled cucumbers seasoned with dill and spices. It tastes tangy and briny with a crisp-tender bite, and holds its texture in salads and sauces. Use it to top hot dogs and burgers, fold into tartar sauce or potato salad, or stir into dressings and dips; it's sold jarred in a fine or medium chop, sometimes with onion and mustard seed.

Cucumber relishes grew from European pickling traditions and became widespread in North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dill-style versions reflect Central and Eastern European flavors and are now staples of American deli and ballpark fare, made by chopping pickled cucumbers and packing them in seasoned brine.
