Quick Pickles

Today’s cucumber harvest, or as I like to say “Future Quick Pickles.”

It’s been a solid year of cucumber production in the garden. Here’s my quick pickle recipe that I enjoy serving with Summertime meals.

INGREDIENTS (made for one)

One cucumber, peeled and thin sliced

• A dusting of salt
• 1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp White wine vinegar
• 1 tbs agave
• A couple springs of fresh dill (my garden is cranking dill out now)
• Red onion (a couple rings, chopped).
• Chopped Roasted red bell pepper (a few strips).

DIRECTIONS

Lightly salt the cucumbers and toss, let them rest to draw out the moisture. Give it an hour, or less. Pat dry. Add the ingredients above and toss. Put in the fridge to chill.

Take it up a notch if you have fresh parsley and cilantro in the garden to sprinkle on top. I like fresh dill and chives as well.
