Summer is a great time to enjoy a bounty of fresh veggies! To preserve this freshness and add a little zip to your sandwiches, salads, and cheese boards use this recipe to create a quick pickle.
While cucumbers are the first vegetable that comes to mind when you think of pickled vegetables, a variety of crunchy vegetables taste great.
Chunks of fresh cauliflower are a great addition to the pickle jar and a key ingredient in the Italian version of Giardiniera, a pickled condiment that is often used on pasta!
Okra is a southern staple and is a prolific summer crop. You can pick up baskets of okra now at the farmer’s market.
Zucchini is also growing in abundance in most home gardens and makes a great addition.
The addition of fresh herbs adds plenty of deep, earthy flavors and provides the opportunity to customize the recipe.
