Add garlic, dill, peppercorns, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes to the brine.

Bring the brine to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Pack cucumbers tightly into sterilized jars along with carrots, cauliflower, onions, and celery.

Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Seal the jars tightly and let them cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours before consuming.

Allow the pickles to marinate for a week for best flavor.

Enjoy as a side dish or snack.
