Keeping your veggies fresh!

I was at my girlfriends one day and she had me try this veggies relish, she knew I would love it and did I ever!

After making this veggie relish the first time, I fell in love with this recipe for a few reasons.  My favorite way to enjoy this is on my salads. You know how you buy a green pepper and it is bad with in a week or so. I have had this relish for months in my fridge. Also all my veggies are chopped and prepped for me so I am saving time.

       dressing  too!
