I consider myself a pickle connoisseur, and I dare say that these pickled jalapeños are the best. These pickled jalapeños are fresh and lightly crisp, with the perfect level of heat. They’re so much better than their store-bought counterparts, which have been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long.
To make this recipe, you’ll need fresh jalapeños, vinegar, water, an optional garlic clove, and salt. That’s it—the rest of the magic is due to the method.
These pickles will taste fully pickled after a four-hour rest in the refrigerator, so make them earlier in the day or the night before you need them. They retain their lovely flavor for about one month in the refrigerator.
These pickled jalapeños offer the perfect spicy pop to my meals! I hope you love them as much as I do.

The thinly sliced cucumbers and onions are salty, tangy, and lightly sweet all at once, and totally addicting. This cucumber salad is vegan, plant-based, and gluten-free, so it works for lots of diets too. Keep reading for how to make it!
There are only a few ingredients you need to whip up this cucumber salad with vinegar.
Cucumbers:English cucumbers are preferable if you can find them. They have a sweet flavor, delicate skin, and imperceptible seeds. You can use standard cucumbers as well, but we recommend English if you can find them (also called Persian cucumbers).
White onion: The mild flavor of white onion is key in this recipe. You can also combine white onion and red onion as we do in our classic cucumber salad.
Fresh dill: Here we’ve used fresh dill to add an herby flair. But it’s not a requirement: making the salad without it still tastes excellent. You can also substitute dried dill if desired.
White vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt: These ingredients combine to make a tangy brine for the salad.
How to make cucumber salad with vinegar
This cucumber salad with vinegar is incredibly easy to make: the only hard part is waiting while it marinates in the refrigerator! The trick to mastering this cucumber salad is to slice the onions and cucumbers as thinly as possible. Slicing the cucumber and onion thinly allows the salt to draw out most of the moisture, and gives this salad the most incredible texture.
Step 1: Thinly slice the cucumbers and onions. If you have a mandolin, it works well for slicing the cucumbers: but it’s not needed at all: a simple knife will do the trick!
Step 2: Whisk together the white vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Step 3: Once the cucumbers and onions are mixed with the vinegar, salt and sugar (they’re basically quick pickles!), they need to marinate in the refrigerator. Wait 1 hour while time does its magic!
After 1 hour marinating time, you can enjoy your cucumber salad with vinegar salad anytime over the next 7 days. The flavor just gets better with time!
Menus with vinegar cucumber salad
There are so many ways to accessorize this cucumber salad with vinegar! We eat it primarily in as a summer side dish, so naturally we think of meals full of summer produce. Of course you can eat this salad all year long. Here some ideas to get your wheels turning:
Slice the cucumbers as thin as possible, using a mandolin if desired. Peel and thinly slice the onion into half moon shapes. Layer the cucumbers and onions in a large shallow bowl; add the dill (if using).
In a small bowl, mix the white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the cucumbers and onions, mixing everything together to ensure even coverage. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour**.
Stir again to evenly mix the dressing, then serve with a slotted spoon. Store refrigerated for up to 7 days; the flavor even improves over time!
Notes
*You can also omit the dill, or use ½ teaspoon dried in place of fresh.
**If you’re pressed for time you can serve immediately, but it’s best after 1 hour marinating time.
