  • 3. Cover the veggies with distilled white vinegar. Add any spices or herbs, if desired.

Cooking Tips

Cooking Tips

  • 1. The pickled veggies will last in the fridge for at least 2 weeks, and usually longer.
  • 2. Red cabbage and radishes last the longest, with minimal deterioration after the second week. These can be eaten at the 3-week mark.
  • 3. Red onions will start to get a little murky looking around the 2-week mark.
  • 4. Use on salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, and pizzas!
