Pickled Watermelon Rind [Video]
I’ve been making these watermelon rind pickles all summer long and I’m obsessed.
They’re a little sweet, a little tangy, and the chili flakes give them the perfect kick of heat π₯
I love them in a salad – they’re the perfect crunchy, tangy addition in my opinion. You can also just have them straight out of the jar for a little snacky snack.
Healthy, Delicious, and (Almost) Zero Waste!
We all know how good apple cider vinegar is for us, so these pickles are a great way to incorporate those health benefits.
PLUS, watermelon rind is something we typically throw out, so turning it into pickles is a win for the environment!
We won’t be using the hard, dark green skin which is why these are “Almost Zero Waste.” But you can always compost that part (which is what I do with my handy dandy composter).
Soak up the last little bit of summertime, friends βοΈ
