These are great! Super easy too. I used a mix of green and yellow beans that I picked up at the farmers' market today. After the beans sit in the pickling liquid for two hours, I do think it's a good idea to strain them and put them in a separate container for longer-term storage. I might also try adding slice radishes in the future.

A fresh alternative to pickled cukes, these crisp, crunchy treats make a zesty summer snack, garnish for a Bloody Mary, or condiment in a sandwich or salad. These picked green beans are easy to prepare and will keep up to a week in the refrigerator.
