How to make Stuffed Turnip Pickles with the East Recipe? Here is an easy recipe to make pickled cucumbers or gherkins, which make a great snack for sandwiches or falafel wraps and have a great salty and sour taste. I love pickled veggies so pickled cucumbers are something I always have in my fridge. They’re a great snack and a great addition to many dishes, especially falafel. Using pickling spices in pickle recipes not only gives you great-tasting cucumbers, but you can actually preserve them for much longer. And depending on the season, you can swap fresh salads with salads made from pickled vegetables.
