As the name suggests, this salad makes an appealing presentation. It is fast and easy to prepare and can be made several days in advance. The longer the relish marinates, the more the flavor is enhanced. Adjust the seasonings to your personal preference, adding more or less green chili peppers, cilantro, lime, vinegar or salt.

green pepper, finely chopped
