Not the most awesome photos, but I was excited to make this salad today, which involved my first pickling experience.
I had heard that quick-pickling onions is an easier task than it sounds, which I found to be true. But I didn’t realize how many delicious components were involved.
Cloves.
Chili.
Bay leaf.
Brown sugar.
And, of course, vinegar. (I used the apple-cider kind.)
So simple. So satisfying. Highly delicious.
I had been looking for a new way of using farro, a grain I adore for its chewy heartiness. Saw a beet, farro and arugula salad on a menu in SF and thought I would try my hand at something similar.
Ella observed my experiment from her perch on the grocery tote.

Jealous! I’ve never learned to pickle anything edible… as a result, they are getting ready to take my Repatriated Southerner card away from me!
Looks delicious, and the kitty is adorable too!
Lol, I have faith in you, Daisy! This recipe made things pretty simple for me; maybe it might be of help?
