For a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in ice water for 15 minutes before using. Experiment with different types of blue cheese to find your favorite flavor profile. Consider using a creamy Gorgonzola for a milder taste or a pungent Roquefort for a bolder flavor. The relish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time. Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or crudités for a versatile appetizer. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette for a touch of heat. Consider adding toasted walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.
