• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Adds a Mediterranean twist and depth to the brine.
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Just a touch of heat to keep things interesting! You can add more or leave it out based on your spice preference.
• ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
Dill gives that classic pickled flavor and pairs beautifully with the cucumbers and onions.
Directions
Step 1: Prep Your Vegetables
• Wash all your vegetables thoroughly.
• Cherry tomatoes: Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to gently pierce each one—this helps the vinegar soak in quickly.
• Red onion and cucumber: Slice both as thin as possible. A mandoline works great if you have one!
Place all your prepped vegetables in a large, clean glass jar or a heat-safe container.
Step 2: Make the Pickling Brine
In a small saucepan, combine:
• 1 cup white vinegar
• ½ cup water
