Prepare the vegetables
Thinly slice cucumbers, onion, and bell peppers.
Place them in a clean glass jar or bowl.
Make the pickling liquid
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, water, salt, honey (if using), turmeric, black pepper, and seeds.
Combine
Pour the pickling liquid over the vegetables.
Add garlic and fresh herbs. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
Rest & pickle
Cover and let sit for 20–30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours for deeper flavor.
Serve
Enjoy chilled as a refreshing side, topping for grilled dishes, or healthy snack.
