Description
These Pickled Onions are the easiest way to add a punch of flavor to tacos, sandwiches, salads, or grain bowls. Bright, tangy, and slightly sweet, they come together in minutes and last in the fridge for weeks.
Ingredients
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup vinegar (apple cider, white, or red wine vinegar)
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp sugar (or honey)
1 tsp salt
Optional add-ins: 1 garlic clove, black peppercorns, chili flakes, or fresh herbs
Instructions
Thinly slice the onion and place in a clean glass jar.
In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Heat just until sugar dissolves (do not boil).
Pour the hot mixture over the onions, making sure they’re fully submerged.
Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
They’re ready in about 30 minutes, but best after a few hours. Keeps for 2–3 weeks in the fridge.
