Quick Pickled Red Onions
Pickled red onions are surprisingly easy to make and provide a delicious and tangy condiment for salads, burgers, tacos, sandwiches, and more. With just a few simple ingredients you can quickly make your own pickled red onions at home - it's an easy way to add some extra flavor and texture to all of your favorite meals. It's a "Whole Lotta Yum!"
Ingredients
- 1 Medium Red onion thinly sliced
- ¾ cup White vinegar
- ¾ cup Water
- 1 ½ teaspoon Sweetener granulated sugar or monk fruit
- 1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt
Instructions
- Add the vinegar and water to a small microwave-safe bowl. Bring the liquid to a boil in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. Or, you can simmer the vinegar and water in a small saucepan on the stove.
- Add in the sugar and stir it until dissolved.
- In a mason jar or other glass container, place the thinly sliced onion and pour the vinegar mixture over the onions.
- Loosely cover the jar and let stand on the counter to cool. It's best to let them sit for at least an hour but they can be eaten right away if you need them immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- The pickled onions actually taste better if made in advance. The onions will gain a better pickle, turn even more pink, and have more flavor.
- They can be added to salads, tacos, sandwiches, etc, and are SO delicious.
- This is an easy recipe to double since they last up to 3 weeks in the fridge.
- Optional additions are black pepper, garlic cloves, cucumbers, or jalapenos. Youʼll need to increase the liquid and seasoning if you are adding veggies to the pickled red onion.
- If the boiled liquid doesn't completely cover your onions, just boil a little bit more. If you're using large or jumbo onions, you might need to 1.5 the liquid.
