I used to throw away the stalks, no one really eat them, but now I make these and serve them like pickles at every meal. I really make it like cucumber salad but it last even longer, about 2 weeks.

Broccoli Stalk Salad (Pickled)
Servings
Ingredients
- 3 broccoli salks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Peel and slice broccoli stalks very thin with mandolin or food processor. Place in a canning jar. Bring vinegar, sugar, garlic and salt to a boil in a saucepan or in the microwave, stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over the broccoli stalks, add water to fill jar and cover and let sit at least an hour until ready. Store in the fridge for at least 2 weeks.











I made these and was pleased with the results. They are such a smart way to use up your broccoli stalks! The flavor profile to me was somewhere in between a bread & butter pickle and a half-sour pickle. Pretty good for a broccoli stalk if you ask me 😉
When the recipe says to “store in the fridge for at least 2 weeks” does that mean it needs to culture for that long before its ready or that it will stay good for 2 weeks in the fridge?
