Spicy, tangy, and full of crunch, Pikliz is a staple condiment in Haitian cuisine that adds an explosion of flavor to every bite. 

This fiery pickled slaw is made with finely shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, thinly sliced bell peppers, and habanero or Scotch bonnet peppers, all steeped in a bold vinegar brine infused with garlic, onions, and cloves. The result is a crisp, refreshing, and heat-packed accompaniment that enhances meats, seafood, and fried foods. 

Traditionally served alongside griot (fried pork) and fried plantains, Pikliz not only delivers a vibrant kick but also balances out rich and savory dishes with its acidity and spice. Whether used as a side dish, topping, or marinade, this Haitian favorite is the perfect way to bring depth and excitement to your meals.
