I need a substitution for caper pickling liquid.

I have a salad recipe with kale and the dressing is intended to soften the kale.

Not vinegar like so many mainstream pickling brines, but salt.

I might try sea salt dissolved in water with some dill, I'm not sure what flavors you're looking for.

Hope it helps.
