Quick Pickles – Only 3 Ingredients

08/14/2018 by Brittany Leave a Comment

Quick Pickles – Only 3 Ingredients! Perfect for those farmer’s market or homegrown cucumbers.  I could snack on this ALL. DAY. LONG.  You can also reuse the brine over and over, and you’ll want to because these cukes* are addicting.  Start by thinly slicing some shallots and cucumbers.  Toss them in a bowl with some seasoned rice vinegar (I use this brand) and a little dill if you like.  Let them sit for a few hours before diving in.  I’d stick with shallots over onion because their flavor is richer and sweeter.  I always imagine them as a onion-garlic-hybrid of sorts.  This recipe is best with homegrown or farmer’s market cucumbers, they really do taste better.

*Cukes – Slang for cucumber.
