Okay, before you turn away from the thought of pickled carrots, let me just say this: If you like dill pickles, you’re going to love pickled carrots. I use these as a topping on salads, hearty sandwiches, and even as a garnish for some nice grilled fish. The tartness of the vinegar, combined with the natural sweetness of the carrots creates a unique pairing of sweet and sour that's hard to beat. This quick pickle is not for all veggies; however, it works great with carrots. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
