So addicting and so easy to make. When added to the brine, it only takes 30 minutes for them to become “pickled” and they lay in the fridge for two weeks. In this pickled state, they loose their heat and become sweet and tangy. So delish! Enjoy!

    So yummy and simple! I make these weekly!!! They’re a must have to top with Greek bowls, avocado toast, or a topping for a salad.
