Onion pickles, perfect to enhance your dishes!
For those who don't know, pickles are vegetables that are marinated in vinegar and served as condiments in many dishes! The term comes from the English verb "to pickle" which means "to preserve in brine". This allows vegetables to be kept longer while giving them a good vinegary taste to enhance salads for example! Do not hesitate to experiment with different vegetables (cauliflower, cucumber, carrot, radish, and many others) :-)
