Okay, maybe I’m getting a little carried away with the fresh dill. I hate to see something go to waste so I’m trying to come up with all kinds of ways to incorporate dill into my meals. This is one recipe that I happened to create by accident. I was putting together a side dish for myself with sliced cucumbers, dill and chives and had the thought to sprinkle it with white wine vinegar and just like that I stumbled upon Quick Pickles. Lately I have been abandoning salad dressing in favor of balsamic, red wine or white wine vinegar and I haven’t missed the salad dressing one bit. I’m planning to make a big batch of my Quick Pickles for a barbecue this weekend.
Quick Pickles
- 1 cup of thinly sliced cucumber, cut into semi-circles
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped (I use my kitchen scissors for the dill and chives.)
- White wine vinegar (to taste)
- Course salt (to taste)
Mix all the ingredients and let sit for 30 minutes. Don’t pour too much vinegar at first, you can always add more later.
Another time when I didn't mind that no one wanted to try this recipe. More for me!
wish I lived closer! I’d try all these things!!! Saves having to make them myself!
Love this idea. So fresh!
Tried this too. LOVE THEM!! Still waiting for them to chill. Had to modify real onion and white vinegar (no wine). But taste awesome so far. THANKS!!
OK, just 1 more comment. Marlea (10 months) loved these! Blake liked them too and asked for more.
Looks great and so simple. I love pickles! I’ll have to try this one soon.
