Quick Pickles
Author's Notes: Most every vegetable can be pickled, and this recipe for quick pickled veggies makes it easy to add that bit of crunch and acid to a dish. We love quick pickling cucumbers and kohlrabi, a strange looking veg with a firm, mild taste that stands up to vinegar like a champ. Using rice vinegar, which has a lower acidity, will keep the veggies firm and give them a nice mild flavor.
