Notes
I would recommend adding a few sprigs of fresh dill to bring a nice pop of color and some extra flavor into these quick pickles. If you don't have it, you can add some dried dill instead.
Whole garlic cloves can also be an amazing addition to the vinegar brine.
To bring a bit of a spicy kick to these pickles, you can also add some red pepper flakes into the mix.
You can use either rice wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar or even just rice vinegar to make the pickling brine.
