How to Pickle Radishes

As I mentioned above, it’s incredibly easy to make pickled radishes. Here are the basic steps to quick pickling radishes:

1. Thinly slice the radishes.
2. Place the sliced radishes in a bowl, then top with water and vinegar.
3. Stir in the salt, then let sit for 20 to 30 minutes to pickle.

How Long Do Quick Pickled Radishes Last?

Quick picked radishes are best enjoyed the same day but last up to 24 hours if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Can I Use Another Type of Radish?

Of course! You’re welcome to use any radish variety you’d like. Just note that the color of the pickled radishes may differ depending on the combination of radishes and vinegar you use.

Tips for Pickling Radishes

It’s important that the radishes are sliced very thinly so they pickle quickly. A mandoline would come in handy here, but a sharp knife and some patience will also work.

You can use any mild vinegar you’d like to make pickled radishes. I prefer red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar, but white vinegar or even apple cider vinegar should also work.

To flavor your quick pickled radishes, you can add additional herbs and spices. A few options include: star anise, whole peppercorns, red chili flakes, honey, and garlic cloves.
