by May 29, 2016

This is just what you need as a side for your grilled burgers and such this Memorial Day weekend.  Good cooled just to room temperature and even better after a rest in the refrigerator.  Veggie combo inspired by Feed Cafe here in Bozeman and the pickling liquid adapted from Food Network.

Amy’s Kitchen Coach Tips:

  • Use a mandoline for easy slicing.  I like the simplicity of the Benriner, but OXO makes a good one too.  Reviews here on Serious Eats.)
  • The more the cucumbers stay in the pickling liquid the softer they become, hence the separation from most of the pickling liquid for storage.
  • Pickled veggies are a great thing to tote along to a BBQ or potluck.
  • The pickling liquid will keep for up to a month in the refrigerator.  Try carrots for batch #2!
