Ingredients:
Pickled Slaw
1 tbsp. cumin seeds
1 c. distilled white vinegar
½ c. water
2 tbsp. agave syrup
2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 large jalapeño, thinly sliced into rings
2 tbsp. kosher salt
6 radishes, ends trimmed and very thinly sliced

Directions:
1. Pickle the vegetables: To a small saucepan set over medium heat, add the cumin seeds and cook until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, water, agave syrup, garlic, jalapeño slices and salt and simmer for 5 minutes. To a medium bowl, add the radishes, carrots and bell pepper, then pour the brine over the vegetables and set aside for 10 minutes to pickle.
