Quick Pickled Vegetables

Quick pickled vegetables are the thing to make to kick up your everyday meals. If you like pickles. You’ll LOVE these pickled red onions, pickled carrots. Pickled peppers or pickled cauliflower are also great options. They give lots of dishes a little kick. 

Add pickled onions to tacos, sandwiches, and appetizers!

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, but I almost always make them the night before. 

Pickled onions are my absolute favorite on a roast beef sandwich! Another favorite to add is marinated artichoke hearts.

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 do love garlic and peppercorns added. I do 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!

If you like onions take a look at…

• Caramelized Onions
• Sour Cream and Onion Mashed Potatoes
• Avocado Onion Dip
• Salisbury Steak

I love pickled onions on roast beef sandwiches or Asian dishes they offer a great contrast in flavor.

These pickled onions are super tasty and crunchy!

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.

Be sure to check out my post on Pickled Jalapenos

Feel free to add garlic cloves, peppercorns, and herbs like dill and oregano as well to the jars of vegetables you’ll pickle. You can use cucumbers too!

And don’t miss these gorgeous Pickled Pink Turnips
