Pickled Ginger Cucumber Salad

Ever want to try making your own pickles? This Pickled Ginger Cucumber Salad recipe is super fun and simple to throw together and bypasses the arduous canning process. This Pickled Ginger Cucumber Salad adds a tangy, crunchy bite to salads, burgers or sandwiches. I seriously lighten up the sugar compared to most pickle recipes but it doesn’t take away from the tangy goodness.

Serve on top of a grilled turkey, veggie or portobello burgers, wraps or fish tacos. My personal favorite is atop my Korean BBQ Bowls.
