Quick Pickled Red Onions.  The condiment you NEED to add to your repertoire.  Add them to tacos, sandwiches, burgers, you name it!  They are a great addition to any meal!

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced thin
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the onion and place it in a bowl. 
  2. Simmer the vinegar, sugar, and salt over medium-high heat in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. 
  3. Pour vinegar mixture over onion, cover, and let cool completely, about 1 hour. 
  4. Drain cooled vegetables in colander.  (Pickled onions can be refrigerated for up to 1 week; onions will turn harsh after 1 week).

Notes

*I’ve added jalapeños to the brine and it makes the onions have a little bit of bite – add one for just a little bit of bite, or two for a lot of bite!

*As I’ve said, these pickled onions can be added to just about anything that you want to have a little bit of crunch – a sandwich, a burger, tacos, salads, really the sky is the limit.  They are my go-to add-on for a little bit of tangy flavor that makes the dish just pop with flavor!  Let me know if you give them a try!
