Ingredients

  • 1 small carrot peeled, cut in julienne
  • 1/3 English cucumber cut in julienne
  • 1 medium red onion sliced thinly
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon whole peppercorns optional
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds optional
  • 2 teaspoon mustard seeds optional
  • fresh dill optional
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon green onion chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare a clean mason jar for the vegetables.
  • Add carrot, cucumber and red onion to the mason jar.
  • Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic and salt to boil in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Remove from the heat and let it cool down until slightly warm. Pour the liquid mixture into the mason jar of vegetables.
  • Add the whole peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds,
  • Add few sprigs of fresh dill or other herbs like parsley or oregano, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and the green onion. Let cool to room temperature for two hours then seal shut the mason jar and give it a shake.
  • Refrigerate the pickled veggies for 10 hours before you use them. This helps them pickle and soak in the flavors.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks (these are not canned for long-term storage- please make sure you keep them refrigerated).

Notes

  • You will want to make sure the liquid covers all of the vegetables but also leave about a half-inch of room from the top of the jar/lid.
  • You can use whatever veggies you have on hand. Just make sure to cut them to the appropriate size to fit the mason jar.
  • Please remember these are not canned for long-term storage - they should be kept refrigerated.
