Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 1.5 lbs total) zucchini
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium white onion
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 cup (chopped, packed) fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh dill
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 2 large (minced) garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini, green bell pepper, and white onion under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the zucchini and dice them into small, even pieces (about 1/4-inch cubes).

Step 3

Core and seed the green bell pepper, then dice into similarly sized pieces as the zucchini.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop the white onion.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, bell pepper, and onion. Sprinkle the mixture with kosher salt and toss to combine. Let it sit for 1 hour to draw out excess liquid.

Step 6

After 1 hour, transfer the mixture to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.

Step 7

In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, ground mustard, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 8

Add the drained zucchini mixture, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and ground black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the relish thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the olive oil for added richness. Allow the relish to cool completely in the pan.

Step 11

Once cooled, transfer the Green Goddess Zucchini Relish to clean, airtight jars or containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 12

Serve as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, grilled meats, or veggies, or use it as a dip or spread for crackers and bread.
