Here’s a condiment secret that will revolutionize all your meals, from bowl meals to sandwiches. Try these pickled cucumbers and onions! If you’re a fan of pickled red onions like I am, you’ll know they add a tangy sweet crunch to everything they touch.

So I thought, why not add cucumbers? Turns out, they add a next level crunch. I originally made them for this Mediterranean-style falafel bowl, but they work with just about anything: cheese boards, sandwiches, tacos, and more! As a cookbook authors who’s made dozens of pickle recipes, this one is actually my favorite of them all.
