Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced 3 inch strips
  • 1/4 purple onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 12 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 57 whole black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 small bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Prep Vegetables: Place thinly sliced vegetables in a mason jar.
  2. Make Pickling Liquid: Add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1-2 smashed garlic cloves, 5-7 black peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and bay leaf to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Pickle Vegetables: Pour the pickling liquid into the same jar as the vegetables while still hot (make sure the peppercorns, garlic and bay leaf make it into the jar as well). Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (careful it will be hot).
  4. Serve: Use immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator for later use.

Notes

  • Sweetness: if you want to add a touch of sweetness, you can easily add in about 1-2 tablespoons of coconut sugar (don’t add if Whole30) or honey.
  • Serving Suggestions: these are great on gyro bowls!
  • Storage: store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. 
  • Different Vinegars: why so many different vinegars – after testing, we found an increased depth of flavor resulted from using different types of vinegars!
