Rinse and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Slice the zucchini into half-moon shapes.
Cut the radishes into thin slices.
Trim the ends of the green beans.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
In a large pot, bring 500 ml of water, white vinegar, salt, erythritol, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables and fresh dill.
Add the sliced garlic and bay leaves into the mix.
Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the vegetables and use a spoon to mix everything together well, ensuring all the vegetables are submerged.
Let the vegetables sit in the mixture at room temperature for 1 hour to cool down.
Transfer the cooled pickled vegetables into clean jars, ensuring they are packed tightly, but there is still a bit of space at the top.
Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop fully.
Serve as a snack, a crunchy salad topping, or alongside your favorite main dishes.
