Instructions
- Add vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Add a few ice cubes if you’re impatient like us.
- While the pickling mixture is cooling, chop up garlic in large chunks.
- Add spices and herbs into a mason jar.4 Cloves Garlic, 2 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, 1 tsp. Oregano, ½ tsp. Dill, ½ tsp. Thyme
- Add sliced avocado into the jar. We like to add asparagus in as well!
- Pour the pickling mix into the jar and seal.
- Gently rotate the jar upside down and back up to mix around the garlic chunks and other spices.
- Put in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. The longer you let the mixture sit, the more flavor it will absorb. Setting overnight is preferred.
- Enjoy it as a side to a lunch like our roasted asparagus and tomato sandwich, or as a midnight snack.
