    This recipe for quick pickled veges is so ridiculous and easy that I totally feel bad for calling it a recipe. But then I remember how DELICIOUS and tangy and crunchy and pickly they are and I am not worried about it at all because you guys need these in your life. Now.

    Guys, guess what I have become. An actual real life DIYer! Apparently I have been watching way too much Fixer Upper on HGTV because last weekend I suddenly decided I needed to start stripping wallpaper so that I could paint the lounge and totally redecorate. I got about ¼ of the way around, painfully peeling off the stubborn paper and so this week we have been living in somewhat of a construction zone. But it's so FUN!! Seriously! My attention span is minimal at the best of times and I 100% thought I would be sick of stripping wallpaper after about an hour but I stuck at it all afternoon! I only stopped because it was dinner time and a girls gotta eat.

    And this week I haven't had a chance in the evening to do any more buuuuuuut we have a 3 day weekend this weekend! YAY for renovations!!

    Clearly I'm going to be far too busy steaming and scraping paper off my walls to do much cooking, so I'm probably going to subsist on pickled veges for the entire weekend. Good luck Josh, you're on your own!

    These could not be easier to make. Finely slice up your veges - cabbage and carrot are fine as they are, but if you're using cucumber make sure you remove the seeds. Sprinkle salt, sugar and white wine vinegar and get in with your hands and mix it all up! This is a great way to breathe life back into the leftover bits of raw veges sitting at the back of the draw. Anything goes and it totally gives things a new lease on life.

    Store them in a preserving jar in the fridge and pull out at a moments notice. Or just go at it with a fork. Also acceptable.

    These quick pickled veges are perfect with rice noodles in a Vietnamese style salad, in tacos, on a sandwich or just eaten straight out of the jar if you are that way inclined. Which I am! They are fast, fresh and super tasty. Just the way a simple side should be!

      Hi Laura, just made the yummy pickles and put into jars. How long will they keep in the fridge in preserving jars please.

        Hi Bill, I would be comfortable keeping them in the fridge for about 2 weeks!

      Hi could I use this recipe for red cabbage only? I have 6 huge heads and really want to preserve them.
      Thanks 😊

      This really looks nice! I tried a similar recipe with cucumber and dill... So yummy! 🙂
      I've been longing for autumn to come to try your pumpkin and spinach lasagna recipe (we're right in the middle of autumn here, France) - I've got some pumpkin now, I will definitely try it soon! 🙂
      Have a nice day, or evening!

      This is mainly what my mom does with the zillion cucumbers we harvest from our garden every summer and it is SO GOOD! Adding other veggies makes it so much prettier, too. 🙂 Good luck on your DIY'ing!
