Notes
To pickle veggies:
In a medium bowl whisk together 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 cup water.
Place sliced veggies (carrots, cucumber, onions ... etc) in a jar with a lid, pour the liquid mixture, close the lid and let it sit at room temperature for an hour. If not using immediately, place the jar in fridge.
