Quick-Pickled Carrots, Jalapeños, and Onions: Mildly spicy, taqueria-style to add a little kick to carne asada, tacos, tostadas, or eggs.
-
Quick-Pickled Turnips and Beets: Naturally pink, zesty spears that bring color and earthy flavor to bowls, wraps, mezze platters, and other savory dishes with no added salt.
Tip: Don’t discard the brine. The vinegar brine contains the same acetic acid and dissolved flavors that pickle the vegetables. You can drink it, or use it in homemade salad dressings, marinades, or drizzle a little over grain bowls or roasted vegetables.
