Fresh Pickled Cucumber Salad

Q&A

Q: Can I use other vegetables?

A: Absolutely! Add thinly sliced radishes, bell peppers, or jalapeños for variety.

Q: How long does it last in the fridge?

A: Up to 2 months in an airtight jar, but best enjoyed within the first 3–4 weeks for peak crunch.

Q: Is this safe for canning?

A: No — this is a refrigerator pickle, not shelf-stable. For canning, use a tested, high-acid water-bath method.

Q: Can I make it sugar-free?

A: Yes! Use a sugar substitute like erythritol or stevia blend, but check that it dissolves well in the brine.
