Quick Pickled Vegetables
If you like pickles you’ll LOVE these pickled red onions and carrots. They give lots of dishes a little kick. It only takes minutes to prep and in no time you’ll be enjoying these marinated onions or vegetable you choose to use.
I am a HUGE pickle fan, I have jars of them in the fridge at all times to prove it!
I love the tangy vinegary taste.
This recipe will show you how to quickly pickle some vegetables that will be ready in an hour and great to add to sandwiches and meals.
Pickled vegetables are great on sandwiches, salads, tacos and wraps.
Pickled onions are my absolute favorite on a roast sandwich!
You can add diced jalapeno to any vegetable and it will make it a bit spicier.
I prefer my red onions without jalapeno, but I love jalapenos in my carrots.
My favorite dinner to serve the quick pickled vegetables with is this Banh mi meatballs, such great flavor in this dish, topped with the marinated veggies, puts it over the TOP!

I love pickled onions on roast beef sandwiches or Asian dishes they offer a great contrast in flavor.
Pickled carrots are a fun way to add flavor to so many meals.
I love them on these Banh mi Meatballs!
You can pickle other vegetables the same way, if they are dense like cauliflower just boil the vegetable for a minute or two to soften it a bit before adding it to the jar. Cucumbers and peppers are other great options.
