1 Prepare the ingredients & make the scallion relish:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the sweet peppers; remove and discard the cores, then thinly slice lengthwise. Halve the celery lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Combine in a bowl. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice. Roughly chop the jalapeño pepper. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling the pepper. In a bowl, combine the sliced scallions, half the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and as much of the chopped jalapeño pepper as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.
