Whether you serve as a condiment alongside grilled meats, or a simple snack with tortilla or corn chips, this small batch, quick refrigerator corn relish will be a refreshing addition to the menu.
Quick Refrigerator Corn Relish
I had a craving for some corn relish, but didn't want a huge batch made for canning. I wanted more of a snack-sized, easy version to enjoy right away!
As always, full recipe text with measurements and instructions, as well as a printable document, are a little bit further down the page. Just swipe or scroll past the step-by-step pictures below.
Here's how to make it.
Chop up some onion, sweet bell pepper, celery, garlic, pimentos and jalapenos. I really love the Deli-Tamed version and have those in my refrigerator all the time. If you prefer, you may certainly substitute fresh jalapeno, especially if you have them growing in your garden!
Add the corn and tomatoes to a lidded storage container. You may use freshly cooked corn, canned corn or even thawed frozen corn. Add some fresh, chopped tomatoes with their juices. You may also substitute canned tomatoes, but drain them.
Add the chopped vegetables to the corn and tomatoes and give it a stir.
I had some bottled Italian dressing that I needed to use, so I decided to go that route with this quicker version of corn relish, instead of making a homemade version. Two things that I would suggest is to use a quality brand that you already love, and preferably, go with a zesty version for the extra flavor boost.
Stir together, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, stirring a couple of times.
Serve as a garnish with grilled or roasted chicken, meats or fish, as a condiment on hot dogs, sausages or tacos, or add to pasta salads, or my personal favorite, eat as an appetizer with crispy tortilla chips. Store in a quart canning jar in the fridge so you can see and use it up!
