This homemade pickled onion recipe only takes 5-minutes and you probably already have the ingredients on hand.  Add these onions to sandwiches, tacos, bowls and salads.  

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced (use a mandolin if you have one)
  • ½ cup of vinegar (I use apple cider)
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp organic granulated sugar
  • 1 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Slice the onions as thinly as you can.  I use a mandolin. It’s easy and quick just watch your fingers!
  2. Place the onions into a jar. A bowl would work too but I find a jar takes up less room in the fridge.
  3. In a liquid measuring cup, combine vinegar, sugar, salt and hot water.  Stir to dissolve the salt and sugar.  
  4. Pour the pickling mixture over the sliced onions and let sit for 1 hour.
  5. After 1 hour, cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
