Chamutzim (Pickled Vegetables)

In my opinion, this is the most irresistible and delicious way to eat veggies! They’re a wonderful sidekick to every dish on the table, whether you’re serving lunch, brunch, or are just in a snack-y mood.

The reason so many people gravitate to chamutzim (pickled veggies) is because besides loving the taste, they realize that at the end of the day, it’s a guilt-free, healthy option to satiate that crave without feeling heavy afterward. It’s a real feel-good food that will add a healthy pop of color to your table.

These are very simple to make, but I do recommend using only fresh vegetables. It’s fun when each veggie is a different shape, so when cutting, you can follow the recipe or get creative! There’s nothing wrong with heart-shaped carrots…
