- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups small cauliflower florets
- 2 cups (3-inch) diagonally cut asparagus
- 1 and 1/2 cups trimmed green beans
- 1 cup (1/4-inch) diagonally cut carrot

2. Place all of the vegetables in a large zip-top plastic bag. Carefully pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables.

Tasting Notes:
Crisp and crunchy, which made for a nice snack. However, because the vinegar taste is strong, I preferred the giardiniera as a side dish - a dinner of grilled Match pork with a hoisin sauce and creamy mashed potatoes with rosemary helped to cut the bite of the vinegar in the vegetables. Don't be alarmed by the full tablespoon of salt called for - even though it sounds like a lot, I actually found this version to be a lot less salty than commercial versions. Finally, next time I wouldn't use green onions or garlic - since they are never cooked, only pickled, they had way too much of a bite.
