What's a picnic without a good pickle!!!!
My mother-in-law, Jamile Betesh, is a master of pickles. She makes pickles out of mushrooms, artichokes, peppers, green tomatoes, cabbage, baby eggplants and avocados. This is a traditional Syrian recipe for turnip and cauliflower pickles and they are always served at the Syrian Maza table(assortment of appetizers) The beautiful pink color really catches your eye! —Joy Betesh
