Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup finely julienned carrots -- peeled

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt and stir until the
sugar and salt have dissolved.

Add the carrots and let stand for at least 20 minutes before serving.

If not using right away, cover and refrigerate for up to a week. Drain
carrots well before using.

Makes 1/2 cup (4 two-tablespoon servings)

AuthorNote: These quick pickles are the perfect foil for rich foods. They
are often served alongside fried things and are always piled on top of
meat-filled banh mi sandwiches. If you like, use julienned daikon in
addition to carrots.
