This recipe for giardiniera — a spicy Italian pickled vegetable mix that’s sort of a condiment and sort of a salad — is adapted from Cook With Me by Alex Guarnaschelli. Enjoy it as a nibble with a pre-dinner glass of wine, or put it on the table when you have pizza or pasta with a rich ragù bolognese. You’ll need to soak the cut-up vegetables overnight in salt water before you start.
