Mirliton Relish

This vibrant mirliton relish is a refreshing celebration of the chayote squash, offering a crisp texture and a bright, zesty flavour profile. By combining the subtle sweetness of the squash with crunchy peppers, red onions, and a splash of vinegar, this vegan-friendly condiment brings a beautiful burst of colour to any spread. A hint of hot sauce provides a gentle warmth that balances the sharp acidity, making it an excellent palate cleanser for richer meals.

As a versatile plant-based side dish, this healthy relish is particularly well-suited for outdoor dining, pairing beautifully with grilled vegetables or as a crunchy topping for tacos. It is a fantastic make-ahead option for entertaining, as the savoury flavours deepen and meld when left to macerate in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
