Have you ever had picked red onions? If your answer is no, you’re missing out! I am seriously in love with them, they’re so tasty on everything you top them with, salads, sandwiches, cucumbers, hamburgers, and so much more! They’re quick and easy to make – Keep them in the fridge and you’ll elevate a ho hum dish in seconds!

✨Bonus: they couldn’t be easier (or quicker) to make. I don’t use salt in mine, and I don’t miss it one bit. I don’t use sugar, but I do use a few drops of honey sometimes. 

PICKLED RED ONIONS

• 1 red onion, peeled and sliced THIN
• White Vinegar (about 1/2 cup for 1 red onion)
• Honey (optional) (I use a few drops)

DIRECTIONS:

In a jar, add white vinegar in an amount that you think will cover the onions once added. Sometimes I add a few drops of honey, sometimes I don’t. If you use honey, stir it in, then add the thinly sliced red onion to the jar. Give the onions a stir, then cover and place in the refrigerator. They can be ready fairly quickly if sliced thinly. They’ll turn a pinker color and soften. You will be thrilled!

Note: you can slice thicker if you like – it’ll just take a little longer to soften.

You can eat them right out of the jar – they are exquisite. Recently, these are a few ways I have had them: On a corn tortilla with one scrambled egg + cheddar, on a goat cheese, peach, chicken salad (omg!), on an open faced tuna melt 😋 (underneath the cheese and in the broiler just until cheddar melts), in a pita with a slice of cheese, melted quickly then slid in some PRO. They taste good with everything! From what I’ve read, they last about 3 weeks in the refrigerator. Ours doesn’t last long, then I add more red onion to the mix and top with more vinegar/honey (if using). I’ll do that a few times and then start fresh.

✨Go explore new options – keep me posted!

PS – this post will look familiar to some (apologies!) I posted it by mistake last week, then just realized when that happens it doesn’t send out an email, so there is no way to access. So I’m posting it again. It’s that good!
