Notes

Pickled red onions are ridiculously versatile and a great way to add acidity and crunch to nearly any savory dish.

I'll often throw these on top of tacos, over rice bowls, over roasted vegetables, or as a side/condiment with things like roasted chicken or steak.

Ingredients

  • red onion
  • vinegar (I use rice vinegar here, but regular white vinegar or white wine vinegar are great, too)
  • salt
  • sugar

Process

Dice or slice up your red onion and put them into a glass jar.

Add in a big pinch of salt, as well as a smaller pinch of sugar.

Pour in enough vinegar to cover. Cover the jar and give everything a good shake.

Put the jar in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight) to allow everything to pickle.

After that, they're ready to use.

Enjoy!
