Learn to make quick pickles with this recipe from Midwest Food Connection, a local program that brings food education to kids through hands-on activities, encouraging them to get excited about connecting with food and how it can nourish our bodies and communities.
One of the best ways to get kids excited about healthy food is to cook with them in the kitchen. By bringing kids into the kitchen, they can learn how to prepare healthy meals and snacks, and gain exposure to more healthy foods.
Quick pickles is one of our favorite kid-friendly recipes and can mostly be prepared by kids, but it is helpful to have an adult in the kitchen for tasks that involve slicing.
Ingredients:
● 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced thinly
● 1 tbsp brown rice vinegar
● 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
● 1 tsp honey
Instructions:
1. Peel and slice the cucumber and place in a bowl.
