Author Notes
My last office had a cafeteria on the first flood, and one day, they circulated an e-mail menu with one of the offerings for the day being hot dogs with jalapeno relish. I'm normally very picky about hot dogs, but that caught my attention. It was so good, I later asked for the recipe, but the chef said he just threw some stuff together and wasn't sure what he had done. This is my version, and everyone goes crazy over it. —chris_coyle

Toss the veggies in a bowl with the lemon juice, cilantro and vinegar;
