Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups sliced cucumbers

  • 1 cup carrot sticks

  • 1 cup cauliflower florets

  • 1/2 red onion, sliced

  • 1 cup bell pepper slices (any color)

  • 2 cups white vinegar

  • 2 cups water

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 tablespoons salt

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

  • Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

  • Wash and cut all vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

  • Pack the veggies tightly into clean glass jars.

  • In a pot, bring the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a simmer. Stir until dissolved.

  • Add garlic, mustard seeds, and peppercorns to the jars.

  • Carefully pour the hot liquid over the vegetables, covering them completely.

  • Let the jars cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate.

  • Let them pickle for at least 24 hours before enjoying for the best flavor!

Notes

  • Cut evenly: Slice your veggies the same size so they pickle evenly and stay crunchy.

  • Mix it up: Try adding green beans, radishes, or zucchini for even more variety.

  • Spice it your way: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat!

  • Use fresh veggies: The fresher the vegetables, the crispier your pickles will be.

  • Flavor boost: Add herbs like dill, thyme, or even a bay leaf for an extra kick.

  • Be patient: Let the pickles sit for at least 24 hours, but 2–3 days makes them even tastier!

  • Keep refrigerated: These pickles aren’t canned, so they should always stay in the fridge.

  • Use glass jars: They keep flavors pure and are easy to clean.
