Chilled Garlic “Pickles”

Ingredients

• 1 medium cucumber, sliced into rounds
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• ¼–½ cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• Salt, to taste

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.
2. Generously salt the cucumber slices.
3. Pack the cucumber slices tightly into a small glass canning jar, layering garlic slices between them.
4. Pour the vinegar and lemon mixture over the cucumbers until fully covered.
5. Refrigerate overnight. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Optional method: Instead of jarring, you can marinate the salted cucumber slices with vinegar and garlic, then use a pickle press or a weighted plate to press out excess liquid before serving.
