Quick Pickled Vegetables

Quick pickling vegetables is an exciting way to give fresh vegetables longevity. You can use a variety of vegetables, but these three options are not complicated or lengthy. You can have these tasty options for garnishes on sandwiches or tossed into salads. Though the vegetables change, the pickling liquid remains the same throughout the recipes. Using this quick method of pickling is not the same as canning and will not be shelf-stable, so the jars will have to be stored in the fridge. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
