Ingredients:
2 ripe tomatoes
2 crunchy carrots
Several cucumbers (or substitute with gherkins or lettuce)
5-6 garlic cloves
2 peppers of your choice
A hint of primrose for a unique flavor twist
For the Jars:
4 tablespoons of your preferred oil
3 tablespoons of vinegar
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of salt
Boiling water
How to Prepare Your Vibrant Summer Salad:
Prepare the Vegetables: Start by thoroughly washing your veggies. Chop the tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and peppers into bite-size pieces, as per your liking. Finely mince the garlic and keep it aside.
Layering in Jars: Take clean jars and begin layering the chopped vegetables. Mix the types to create a visually appealing and evenly distributed salad.
Adding Flavor: After filling the jars with vegetables, sprinkle in the minced garlic and a bit of primrose into each jar, infusing an extra layer of flavor.
Creating the Tangy Mixture: Pour 4 tablespoons of oil, 3 tablespoons of vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar, and a tablespoon of salt into each jar. These ingredients blend to form a tangy liquid, effectively pickling the vegetables.
The Final Touch with Boiling Water: Fill up the jars with boiling water to the top. This step slightly softens the veggies and helps the flavors to combine perfectly.
Seal and Cool: Tightly seal the jars and allow them to cool. Once cool, store them in your refrigerator.
With this simple recipe, you can enjoy a tangy and refreshing summer salad all year round. It’s not only a treat for your taste buds but also a colorful addition to your meals!
