My super awesome trick for even easier pickled vegetables!

If you ever have a jar of pickles, sweet or dill, or my own personal favorite, Trader Joe’s Hot and Sweet Jalapenos – DO NOT throw out that juice when you are done! Did you know that you can chop up a fresh round of veggies and toss them right into that delicious brine for a whole new batch of pickled goodness?! Another quick tip: Save the briny juice to make salad dressings. Nothing goes to waste!
