Pickled Cherry Tomatoes, Red Onions, and Cucumbers
Ingredients
1 pint cherry tomatoes: Washed and dried. Leave whole or halve them for faster pickling.
1/2 red onion: Thinly sliced for a mild, sweet flavor with a hint of sharpness.
1/2 cucumber: Thinly sliced for crisp texture; English cucumbers work best as they have fewer seeds.
1 cup white vinegar: Provides the tangy, acidic base for the pickling liquid.
1/2 cup water: Dilutes the vinegar slightly to balance the flavor.
1/4 cup sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to counterbalance the vinegar.
1 teaspoon salt: Enhances the flavor and helps preserve the pickles.
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano: Adds an earthy, herbal note to the pickles.
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes: For a subtle hint of heat (optional).
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped: Gives a fresh, aromatic flavor that pairs perfectly with the pickled vegetables.

Ingredient Tips
Cherry Tomatoes: Opt for ripe but firm cherry tomatoes to ensure they hold their shape during pickling. Feel free to use a mix of red, yellow, or even heirloom varieties for a colorful presentation.
Red Onion: Thinly slicing the onion helps it absorb the pickling liquid more quickly, balancing its sharpness with sweetness.
Cucumber: English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers work best because they are seedless and have a thinner skin, making them ideal for pickling. Regular cucumbers can also work, but consider peeling them if the skin is thick.
Vinegar: White vinegar is the classic choice for pickling, but you can substitute apple cider vinegar for a slightly sweeter, more complex flavor.
Sugar and Salt: Adjust the amount of sugar and salt to your taste. For a sugar-free option, use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol.
Herbs and Spices: Feel free to customize with additional herbs or spices such as coriander seeds, mustard seeds, or fresh garlic for added complexity.
