Sweet pickle relish is a chopped, pickled cucumber condiment in a sweetened vinegar brine. It tastes sweet-tangy with a gentle bite and crunchy bits, and it stays spoonable enough to dot or spread. Cooks use it to top hot dogs and burgers, fold into potato and tuna salads, and build tartar sauce; common retail forms range from fine to coarse chop.

It grew out of American pickle-making and early 20th-century sandwich and hot dog culture, adapting European cucumber relishes to sweeter tastes. Today it is standard in North American delis and home kitchens, produced commercially from diced cucumbers with sugar, vinegar, and spices.
