These pickles are infused with fresh lemon juice and zest, creating a vibrant, light flavor that enlivens every bite. Whether you're looking to jazz up a fish dish, brighten a salad, or simply enjoy a tangy snack, these pickles promise to satisfy with their crisp texture and bold lemony taste.
Slice 2 cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a large bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of salt to the cucumbers, toss to coat, and let sit for about 30 minutes, drawing out excess moisture.
Rinse and drain the cucumbers to remove the salt.
Zest 2 lemons and juice them to collect about 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of white vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, the lemon juice, and 4 finely minced garlic cloves. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the lemon zest and a handful of fresh dill to the pickling liquid.
In a clean jar, layer the cucumber slices, pouring the pickling liquid over them to cover completely. Ensure there are no air bubbles before sealing the jar.
Let the pickles marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight will provide the best flavor.
Enjoy Tangy Lemon Pickles as a refreshing side or condiment with your favorite dishes.
