Pikliz

Pikliz is a traditional Haitian condiment made from a spicy mixture of pickled vegetables. It typically includes shredded cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and Scotch bonnet peppers, all marinated in a tangy vinegar brine. Known for its bold heat and vibrant flavor, pikliz is often served alongside fried foods like griot (fried pork) or fried plantains, adding a refreshing crunch and a spicy kick to meals.
