Instructions

1. Insert the medium slicing disc into the work bowl of the Cuisinart® 7 or 9 Cup Food Processor. Slice the cucumber, fennel, peppers, and radishes. Slice the celery, stacking the pieces horizontally in the feed tube. Toss the sliced vegetables and cauliflower in a stainless mixing bowl until evenly combined.
2. Prepare brine: In a small saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt, peppercorns, and dill seed. Bring to a boil.
3. Divide the vegetables between two 1-quart containers with airtight lids. Once brine has come to a boil, pour it evenly over the vegetables to cover. Put the lids on the containers, and then refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours before serving.
