Ingredients

• 8 celery stalks
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow onion
• 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons dried mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon celery seeds
• 0.25 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the celery stalks, red bell pepper, and yellow onion thoroughly under cold running water.

Step 2

Finely dice the celery, red bell pepper, and yellow onion, ensuring all pieces are even in size.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, ground black pepper, dried mustard powder, and celery seeds. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Add the diced celery, red bell pepper, and onion to the saucepan. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly in the vinegar mixture.

Step 6

Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.

Step 8

Transfer the relish to an airtight container or jar. Store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop fully.

Step 9

Serve the celery relish as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or grilled meats, or enjoy it as a side dish.
