Recipe #4: Homemade Pickled Vegetables

Hi Everyone!
    Today's recipe is a healthy snack that you can make using any vegetables you want. It's easy, delicious and goes great with other foods. They are sweet, sour and crunchy! And also a great way to reuse a glass jar.

Ingredients:

Onion                                            1 Tablespoon salt                      *optional- red chilies
Cucumber                                      1 Cup sugar
Carrot                                            2 Cups vinegar
Daikon Radish                               2 Cups water
1 or 2 Garlic cloves

    First wash and slice onion, carrot, cucumber and daikon any way you like. Place them in a bowl with salt, mix well and let them sit for 20-30mins. The salt is going to pull water out of the veggies and make them more crunchy. In the mean time, peel and smash garlic. Mix sugar, vinegar and water together until the sugar is completely dissolved.

    Drain the extracted water from the vegetables and rinse them in water. Transfer the vegetables to a salad spinner and dry them really well!

  Now you can place the veggies in a jar. Arrange them nicely, layer in the smashed garlic, and then pour the vinegar solution over it. Close the lid and place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Now you have homemade pickled vegetables! Crunchy and fresh. Perfect snack in any weather.
