I am always on the look out for interesting but simple additions to add to a hors d’oeurve or cocktail party spread.  Pickled veggies by rick’s picks fit the bill.  Rick uses local cucumbers to make varying types of pickles and other local produce – such as asparagus, okra, beets and green beans – to make unusual but delicious pickled treats.  The Windy City Wasabeans (green beans in a soy-wasabi brine) are my personal favorite, but they are all worth trying.  All of rick’s picks are super flavorful, easy to eat and make a great addition to a veggie, cheese, cured meat or mezze platter.  They are sophisticated enough to serve at a more formal party, just use a crystal dish with mini silver tongs as your serving piece.
