Brighten any dish with this zesty Tasty Radish Relish! Crisp radishes and sharp onion meet tangy apple cider vinegar and mustard seeds for a no-cook flavor explosion.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound radishes, finely grated or very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Thoroughly wash and trim the radishes, then grate them using a box grater or a food processor, or slice them very thinly with a mandoline. Finely dice the red onion.
  2. Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the grated radishes, diced red onion, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, yellow mustard seeds, sea salt, and black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Stir all ingredients together until well combined. Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the radishes to soften slightly. Stir occasionally.
  4. Step 4: After the sitting period, stir in the fresh chopped dill. Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more sugar for sweetness, salt, or vinegar for tang, to your preference.
  5. Step 5: You may drain any excess liquid if you prefer a thicker relish, although the liquid helps keep it moist. Transfer the relish to an airtight container.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately as a condiment for grilled meats, sandwiches, or salads, or refrigerate for up to one week. The flavor often deepens after a day or two in the fridge.

Notes

  • Keep your Tasty Radish Relish in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week; the flavors deepen beautifully after a day or two, making it even more delicious.
  • Since this relish is best enjoyed chilled, simply give it a good stir straight from the fridge to awaken its vibrant flavors before serving.
  • This zesty relish is an absolute winner with grilled fish or chicken, adds a bright crunch to hot dogs or burgers, and elevates a simple green salad to something special.
  • Don't rush the melding time! Letting the relish sit, whether at room temperature or in the fridge, is key for the radishes to soften and all those wonderful sweet, tangy, and spicy notes to truly come together.
