This Meatless Monday, it’s time for a walk on the sour side. Pickles are easy to make, delicious, and a great way to save some money. Not convinced that there’s enough variety? Let us set the record straight! These 4 DIY pickle recipes are sure to please.
1. Green Tomato Pickle Recipe
Summer is behind us, but there’s still time for one more Caprese… that is, if you’ve got some green tomatoes hanging around! Pick yours right before making this quick pickled green tomato Caprese. The green tomatoes stand in for more traditional red, with a touch of honey to add that slight sweetness of a truly ripe tomato. Pick a good-quality mozzarella, and you’re ready to plate this tangy take on a classic. (Image: Jeff Kubina)
