A delightful twist on classic pickled cucumbers, this recipe adds a medley of vegetables for a vibrant and flavorful side dish.
In a jar, combine the sugar, salt, black pepper, vinegar, and olive oil.
Shaking the jar vigorously ensures the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
Secure the lid on the jar and shake well until the mixture is fully combined.
You can taste the brine and adjust the seasoning before pouring it over the vegetables.
Slice the cucumbers, carrots, and onion thinly and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for even and thin slices.
Pour the prepared brine over the vegetables in the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all the vegetables are submerged in the brine for even pickling.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
The longer you chill, the more pronounced the flavors will be.
Serve the pickled vegetables as a side dish or snack.
Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor and presentation.
