Greetings to all fellow Hivers!!
I hope all is well and you are in good health today.

Let's have some mixed pickled veggies in today's post. This is one of my favorite side dishes. Aside from its appetizing flavor, it's also absolutely healthy.

My neighbor gave us some pieces of bitter gourd again, and I think it was the third time this month. I had stirred-fried the first and second ones with different mixtures of ingredients. So, this time, I made it differently to have another taste.

So please come and I'll show you how I did my mixed pickled veggies recipe.

Mixed Pickled Veggies

INGREDIENTS:

• Bitter Gourd
• Carrot
• Cucumber
• Unripe Tomato
• Bell Pepper
• White Onion
• Pineapple Juice
• Vinegar
• Salt
• Sugar
• Calamansi Juice
• Ground Black or White Pepper
• Pineapple Tidbits

PREPARATION:

Wash the ampalaya or bitter gourd, remove the seeds, then cut into thin pieces.
Wash and peel the carrot and cut into strips.
Wash and peel the cucumber, remove the seeds, then cut into strips.
Peel and wash the onion, then cut into your desired shape.
Wash the bell pepper, then cut into strips.
Set them all aside with the other ingredients.

Now let's prepare for the sauce.

In a larger bowl, combine pineapple juice, vinegar, a pinch of salt, sugar, and ground black pepper. The amount of each ingredient is always based on your taste. Mix them well, then set aside.

Combine all the veggies and spices in a bigger container.

Then pour in the sauce. Mix them all together very well. Then cover the container with cling wrap and refrigerate.

After a few hours, the result is really good and satisfying. It's best with some papaya in it, too, but I don't have any. However, I plan to make papaya atchara in the future as well. I put some of it in a jar, and we still have some of it left.

We've also given some to our neighbor. This dish pairs well with chicken, grilled fish, or pork adobo as the main dish.

Do you like these pickled veggies too? I hope you do.

Bye for now and see you in my next post. I'll come and visit yours too..🙂

Thank you for stopping by and God bless...😊🙏❤
