Cucumbers in vinegar are a classic side dish due to their tangy and slightly sweet flavor. Additionally, they add a nice crunch to salads and sandwiches. Often prepared using Kirby cucumbers, there are several other varieties of cucumber which work well for pickling, including Persian cucumbers and Japanese pickling cucumbers. Regardless of the type used, cucumbers must be cleaned and sliced before being soaked in a vinegar solution. Other ingredients which can be added to enhance the flavor of the vinegar solution include sugar, water, spices, and herbs.

- Slice the cucumbers: Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or spears. You can also use a mandoline slicer to get evenly sliced cucumbers.
- Pack the cucumbers in a jar: Pack the cucumber slices into a clean glass jar. Make sure to leave some headspace at the top of the jar.
- Pour the vinegar solution over the cucumbers: Pour the vinegar solution over the cucumbers, making sure to cover them completely. Seal the jar tightly.
- Store the cucumbers: Store the cucumbers in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours before eating. They will continue to improve in flavor over time.
