easiest pickle recipe ever! this recipe was created at the village market by myself & fellow chefs Kate Baron & Stephanie Shelton. it's one of the most well loved condiments atop our famous fried egg sandwich that we have sold thousands of out of a little 5 X 3 foot kitchen. it's easy to make and a serious crowd pleaser on sandwiches, pulled pork, carnitas tacos, eggs, soups, salads and so forth. —eyeoftheavocado
