Quick-Pickled Lemon and Kirby Cucumber Salad

A duet of sunny lemon cukes and bumpy, sweet Kirbys are the stars of this make-ahead, vibrant side. All you need is 10 minutes of prep time. Then let time do the work as a vinegar mixture gently pickles the veggie medley. This side dish brings brightness to grilled meats and picnic spreads. It's also delicious alongside sandwiches, or even as a salad topping. And it's easy enough to substitute in other cucumber varieties. Persian, English, or another firm, seedless option will work well.
