Pickled Summer Salad: A Southern Favorite

Summer Salad (sometimes called just pickled squash - which seems unfair to the peppers and onions) is just the best stuff for a side dish or relish tray on a hot summer day. It is cold, crisp, and tangy, and is A-maz-ing on hamburgers! While this is the traditional recipe, at least as I know it, really any summer veggies can be used; cucumbers, red or green tomatoes, zucchini, okra, radishes, even carrots (thinly slice or shredded) can be used. It's just a great way to preserve some of that wonderful summer freshness for just a little longer. This recipe features the refrigerator method, but it can easily be adapted for waterbath canning to increase it's shelf life.

I hope you enjoy this summertime favorite!
