Steps:
- This recipe makes 8 to 10 cups of Winter Salad Relish. I store mine in a 3 quart Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator and turn it upside down so the liquid is evenly distributed. You can probably swap Splenda for the sugar in this recipe. I like it in wraps for lunch, too.
- Assemble all ingredients before you begin. Wash all the vegetables and wash and core the apples. Don't peel them. Cut them into quarters and use a food chopper that has a blade for a small dice, like the Vidalia Chop Wizard, or you can hand chop the vegetables.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large container. I use a 3 quart Rubbermaid container with a tight lid.
- Mix the vinegar, sugar and mustard dressing in a small measuring cup.
- Pour the dressing over the salad relish. Combine the dressing with the vegetables and apples.
- Here is how it should look. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix the mayonaise, mustard, and celery seed in a large serving bowl.
- Add cubed potatoes, relish and chopped celery and mix lightly. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
- Cooks tip: You can eat this potato salad right away, but it is better to let it sit for the flavors to blend. I make the potatoes the day before and chill them. You can use other potatoes, but red potatoes absorb dressing readily.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD
The recipe for this Southern classic came from the chef Millie Peartree's mother, Millie Bell. The sweet relish melds with the creamy potatoes for a deep, balanced flavor. Onion powder adds savory notes without the texture of diced onion, which could overpower the dish. Make sure that your eggs are rinsed thoroughly, so no pieces of shell remain, and that your potatoes are uniformly cut in roughly 1-inch cubes so they all finish cooking at the same time. (Millie Bell used her thumb as a measure.) And, most important of all, don't overcook the potatoes: You want potato salad, not mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
- As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
- Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe vegetables. The fresher the vegetables, the better the relish will taste. Look for vegetables that are free of blemishes and bruises.
- Cut the vegetables into small pieces. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of vegetables. The more variety of vegetables you use, the more flavorful the relish will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peppers, and cabbage.
- Add some sweetness. Sugar or honey can be used to add sweetness to the relish. You can also use fruit, such as apples or pineapple.
- Add some acidity. Vinegar or lemon juice can be used to add acidity to the relish. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Add some spices. Spices, such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder, can be used to add flavor to the relish. You can also use herbs, such as dill or parsley.
- Cook the relish until it reaches the desired consistency. The relish can be cooked for a short time to create a crunchy relish, or it can be cooked for a longer time to create a softer relish.
- Let the relish cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Winter Salad Relish is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be served as a side dish, a condiment, or even as a main course. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its sweet and tangy flavor, Winter Salad Relish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
