Quick Pickled Carrots and Jalapeños

Instead of chips and dip, quick pickled carrots and jalapeños are an easy snack food to make for Cinco de Mayo, that’s paleo friendly. You can make it ahead of time in bulk, so you can enjoy your party, instead of slaving away in the kitchen. This recipe is pretty spicy, even though I only used one jalapeño, so if spicy food isn’t for you, you might to seriously reduce the amount of chopped jalapeños. The carrots are the best part anyway. I love pickled carrots!
