Pour over the zucchini and seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid.

![Time to pour the vinegar mixture into the jar.](https://c.recipeland.com/images/r/6849/03da43483a70fb56b322_550.jpg)
Store in a cool, dark place or refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve with strong cheese and crusty bread, or as part of a mezze platter. Makes 1½ cups.
Note:
Salting the zucchini overnight draws out the moisture and helps create a crunchy pickle.
