Looking for a zesty, crunchy addition to your meals? This Pickled Cherry Tomatoes, Onion, and Cucumber recipe is quick to make and bursting with flavor! It’s the perfect side for BBQs, sandwiches, or just snacking straight from the jar. Let’s pickle some veggies!

Ingredients

For the Pickled Veggies:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 small sprig of fresh dill (optional)

For the Pickling Brine:

  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • ½ tsp black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Prep the Veggies: In a clean 1-quart jar, layer the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion slices. Add the garlic and dill (if using) to the jar.
  2. Make the Pickling Brine: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pickle the Veggies: Pour the warm brine over the veggies in the jar, ensuring they’re fully submerged. If needed, press down gently with a spoon. Let the jar cool to room temperature.
  4. Chill and Marinate: Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld. The pickles will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  5. Serve: Enjoy these tangy pickles as a side dish, on burgers, in salads, or straight from the jar!

Notes

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the brine for a spicy kick.
  • Toss in a few fresh herbs like thyme or basil for extra flavor.
