Adding condiments made from raw vegetables gives meals extra enzymes, nutrients and (most noteworthy) flavor. This bright red relish made from bell peppers adds all of the above to any meal.

This brightly colored concoction is easy to make, keeps well in the refrigerator and adds a zesty flavor and crispy texture to anything. Amazing served with cheese and crackers, on sandwiches or next to rice and other grains.
