Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Carrot
• 1 medium-sized Cucumber
• 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
• 1 small Red Chili
• 1 cup White Vinegar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and cut them into thin matchstick-sized strips.

Step 3

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

Step 4

Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips.

Step 5

Finely slice the red chili (remove seeds if you prefer less heat).

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

In a clean, heat-safe jar or bowl, layer the prepared vegetables (carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and chili).

Step 8

Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. Press down gently with a spoon if needed.

Step 9

Let the pickles cool to room temperature. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top before serving, or just before storing.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
