Pickled Red Onions
A tangy and sweet condiment that adds a pop of flavor and color to any dish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large red onion Ensure it's sliced thinly
- 1 cup vinegar (white or apple cider recommended) Choose vinegar type based on desired flavor
- 1 tablespoon sugar Adjust according to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt Can add a pinch of pepper or garlic for extra flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the red onion really thin with a mandolin or sharp knife.
- Place the sliced onions in a heat-proof jar or bowl.
- In a saucepan, boil the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions.
- Let the onions cool at room temperature, or for faster results, refrigerate them for at least half an hour.
Notes
Store pickled onions in the fridge for at least a week. Use a clean fork to scoop them out to maintain freshness. The onions will become zingier over time.
