A relish (a pickle-based condiment) is a cooked and pickled culinary dish made of chopped vegetables, fruits or herbs, typically used as a condiment to enhance a staple.<ref name="Jeanroy Ward 2009"/> Examples are chutneys and the North American relish, a pickled cucumber jam eaten with hot dogs.<ref name="Hui Ghazala Graham Murrell 2003"/><ref name="Smith 2013"/> In North America, the word "relish" is frequently used to describe a single variety of finely chopped pickled cucumber relish, such as pickle, dill and sweet relishes.
Relish generally consists of discernible vegetable or fruit pieces in a sauce, although the sauce is subordinate in character to the vegetable or fruit pieces.<ref name="Ramineni Kawana 2012"/><ref name="Miloradovich 1950"/> Herbs and seeds may also be used, and some relishes, such as chermoula, are prepared entirely using herbs and spices.<ref name="Shulman 2014"/> Relish can consist of a single type or a combination of vegetables and fruit, which may be coarsely or finely chopped; its texture will vary depending on the slicing style used for these solid ingredients,<ref name="Jeanroy Ward 2009"/> but generally a relish is not as smooth as a sauce-type condiment such as ketchup. Relish typically has a strong flavor that complements or adds to the primary food item with which it is served.<ref name="Jeanroy Ward 2009"/><ref name="Skrabec 2009"/>
