TROPICAL FRUIT RELISH
Serve this colorful, healthy relish with your favorite protein or as a snack. It’s
especially good with fish. You’ll note that the instructions call for the mint to be cut
into chiffonade. In French, this word means “made of rags,” but in cooking, it means
when vegetables are cut into very thin strips or shreds (see Some Useful Cooking
Terms).
