I like the tartness of the lemon more than the vinegar or other chutneys. My husband thinks it will be great as a condiment for grilled salmon. I don't understand why the green pepper is in there, as it totally loses its color from all the lemon juice and doesn't really add a lot of flavor. Next time I'd use a red one.
