I love anything pickled. And one of my favorite condiments to pickle are cucumbers, radishes, daikon and carrots and so much more. So I just love this Mexican version with spicy jalapeños and cilantro. These pickled vegetables are so addictive I found myself snacking on them straight from the jar and I am almost finished with the entire batch in a week. You can add these to your breakfast, lunch and dinner. You will love them. I hope you try these yourself and let me know what you think.

Can I water bath can these? If so, how long?

I personally have never done it. But I think you can totally do it, I would research on how long. These are more of a refrigerator pickles you make and eat.

How long do these last in the fridge?

In the instructions you say to add sugar but in the ingredients list it doesn’t say how much?
Thank you.

Thank you so much for catching that. I updated the recipe to include the sugar, which is 1 tsp.

Once you pour the solution over the veggies, how soon before they are pickled?
p.s. if you have any pickled recipes for the summers you should post a blog or in your stories on IG!
I am looking for a good /Russian cucumber/tomatoes pickled recipe!

Day 3 of Whole30 and I made these last night (no sugar of course). Yum. Probably a jar’s worth didn’t end up in a jar…but eaten right away. Delicious and a great and simple way to get crunch, veggies, and a punch of flavor. Thank you!

Awe, I am so glad to hear this… I LOVE anything pickled and especially during Whole30, I feel like I need a whole crunch in my mouth. I am so happy you tried this recipe and it worked out for you while doing Whole30. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
