Commonly paired with grilled foods, ensaladang pipino is a Filipino cucumber salad that brightens the flavor of whatever it’s served alongside. Cucumber, carrot, radish, and red onion soak in a tangy pickling liquid that’s enhanced with garlic and black pepper to deliver drool-worthy results. All you have to do is stick everything in a Mason jar and let it chill for several hours before topping your meal with the eye-catching nibbles. This recipe will keep up to one week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Love it all as this helps me plan and work with my issues.

How for some reason I cannot print like I use to.

What size jar would you recommend for this? I have it in a 32 oz. Mason jar but it’s pretty snug and the liquid comes only about halfway up. I did sneak a taste before putting it in the refrigerator and it’s delicious. I can’t wait. 🙂

Hi Shellie,
We checked with the recipe developer about how far the liquid should come up. This was her response:
“The veggies tend to ‘add’ to the water overnight and you’ll see it rise, but you can also add a bit more water to soak them in. It’s okay if they’re not completely covered but it’s ideal for liquid to come up to ~80% or so.”
Hope this is helpful!

Thank you,
