Mexican Relish Recipe – Only three ingredients needed (+ salt)!
If you like cilantro, you will love this simple recipe of diced cilantro, onion and lime. I love to make a batch of this Mexican Relish and use it on just about everything. I love to top grilled meats with it, mix it into salads, or mix it into some coleslaw for the perfect topping to fish tacos! Its a go to recipe at my house, since it is so easy to make, and really affordable, yet adds some great fresh flavor to many dishes. I can generally find all three ingredients for under $1 each, so it costs just around $3 to make a batch of this. Depending on how you use it, a batch can stretch across multiple meals too.
Its a great dish to bring with some salsa and chips to a party too. Its low cost, and does not take much time to make, and always gets devoured. It adds a lot of flavor to any dish you want to pair it with, without a lot of extra work.

- 1 Lime

Once its refrigerated for a bit to let the flavors mix, its ready to serve. Its great on tacos, enchiladas, salads and so much more!
