Hot pepper relish is the key ingredient in this zesty salsa.

ChupNote: we used harissa instead of hot pepper relish, but you could use ajvar or any other hotsauce. We also doubled the green olives to 1/2 cup, sliced. You could up the fiber by adding 1/2 cup minced flat leaf parsley or cilantro or mint.
