Gingery Quick Pickles image

Fresh ginger and lime team up with mildly flavored rice wine vinegar to form a no-cook brine that packs big flavor into everyday cucumbers. Justin Chapple recommends unseasoned rice vinegar so you can control the sweetness. If you can only find seasoned rice vinegar, simply omit the sugar called for in the recipe.
