How to Make Cucumber Lime Kiwi Relish

This recipe is so easy it takes just under 10 minutes. It can even be done in just 5 if you are fast with a knife! You'll need to peel and chop the cucumber and kiwi. Then remove the seeds from the jalapeno and dice it. If you don't mind extra heat, you can leave the seeds in the pepper. Chop the fresh cilantro roughly.

Put everything into a blender or food processor and pulse for 10 to 15 seconds to puree. It can be left with some texture or served smooth, depending upon your preferences.

Taste, and add additional jalapeno or salt if you need more flavor. Then, pour into an airtight container and refrigerate until you are ready to serve!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do You Serve with Cucumber Lime Kiwi Relish?

Cucumber lime kiwi relish is a versatile condiment that goes great with any meal. It pairs particularly well with grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables. You can also use it to top salads, tacos, burritos, and more. Serve this relish alongside your favorite dishes and enjoy the zesty flavor it adds.

How Long is Homemade Relish Good For?

Store your homemade relish in an airtight container and it will last for up to a week in the refrigerator. If you want to keep it for longer, you can freeze it for up to three months.

While it can last for up to a week, as the fruit and cucumber sit, they will release more liquid and may not be as pleasant a flavor or texture. It is best to make in smaller batches and serve within the first 2 days for the best flavor and texture.

Can You Freezer Cucumber Lime Kiwi Relish?

Yes, you can freeze spicy cucumber relish. Just put it in an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to three months.

Another option that I like to use, is a freezer bag. I can get more of the air out and can flatten the bag to take up less space. When you're ready to use it, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

How Do I Know A Kiwi is Ripe?

Kiwi should be firm but slightly soft to the touch. When you press on it, there should be a bit of give. If you can easily squeeze it with your hand then it's overripe and best to avoid. Also, look for kiwis that are free from any bruises or soft spots. The skin color should range from light to deep green. If it has a yellowish hue, then it's getting too ripe.
