Pickled Vegetable Salad
Description
This Pickled Vegetable Salad is made by dicing a selection of fresh vegetables—small cabbage, large red and yellow bell peppers, medium cauliflower and yellow onion, small broccoli, and large carrot—into roughly one-inch pieces. The uniform size ensures even pickling. The vegetables are placed together in a covered dish suitable for marinating.
The pickling liquid is prepared by boiling water, light olive oil, white vinegar, white sugar, salt, bay leaves, and whole peppercorns together. This hot brine is poured over the vegetables, which are then covered and left to marinate for at least 24 hours. The acidity and spices infuse the vegetables, softening them slightly while preserving crunch.
After marination, the vegetables may be transferred to airtight containers for refrigerated storage, where the relish can keep for up to two weeks. The salad provides a tart, refreshing condiment or side dish that complements richer meals.
Ingredients
- 1 cabbage small
- 1 red bell pepper large
- 1 bell pepper large, yellow
- 1/2 cauliflower medium
- 1 broccoli small
- 1 carrot large
- 1 yellow onion medium
- 5 cup water
- 1 cup olive oil light
- 1 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 tbsp salt
- 5 bay leaf
- 20 peppercorns
Instructions
- Gather and clean all your veggies for pickling.
- Dice all the vegetables into same-sized pieces. I like to stick to around one-inch in size. Mix vegetables together in a large dish. Preferably something that you can cover with a lid for marinating.
- Into a small saucepan, combine together water, oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring the sauce to a boil and pour the sauce over the prepared vegetables.
- Let the vegetables marinade for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours, you can place them in mason jars or other airtight containers.
- When stored properly, the relish will last for up to two weeks.
