Quick Pickled Shredded Carrots
Don’t fret if the carrots are not completely submerged in the pickle brine. During the marinading process the carrots will relax and eventually be submerged. Feel free to press down on the carrots with a spatula or the back of a wooden spoon. The mustard seed and fresh dill are optional ingredients.
