QUICK PICKLED ONIONS

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

This quick pickled red onion recipe couldn’t be any easier and if you read my recipes then you know that is what this panda is all about. These will keep in the fridge for a week, that is, if you don’t eat them all before then. Top your burrito bowls, lettuce wraps, salads, burgers, sandwiches, southwestern egg rolls, Koreen beef bowls or whatever else pickles your fancy with these tasty additions.

I use equal parts vinegar to water. Apple cider vinegar is my go-to but white wine, red wine, distilled or rice wine vinegar would work here. You can mix and match vinegars even. However, I do not recommend using balsamic vinegar in this recipe.

This recipe can be used to pickle other vegetables, as well. Try making pickled radishes, cucumbers, peppers, jalapenos and carrots.

Instructions for quick pickled onions

Slice the red onions thin and add them to a sealable container. I like to use a mason jar because it seals very well. That way your refrigerator wont small like onions all week long.

Heat your liquids and spices in a saucepan and once it begins to simmer just add it to the onions. Make sure to pack the onions down into the liquid fully.

Storing

Pickled onions will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.

I use these medium sized mason jars to store my pickled vegetables in. The smaller jars are perfect for making vinaigrettes or salad dressings. I just add all the ingredients into the jar and give it a vigorous shake to emulsify.
