I made this relish to go with the Peruvian Grilled Chicken I'm making for dinner tonight. I'm making extra chicken so I can stuff that, and your yummy relish into a wrap! Easy to put together, the flavor is great now so I can only imagine how it's going to be in 6 or so hours! This will be made again and again as it's a nice break from the more traditional salsas. Made for CQ 2014
