How to make Pickled Red Onions
There are just a couple of ingredients that are required to make pickled onions, and then there are a couple of optional ingredients. You probably already have all of the ingredients (including the optional ones!)
You will need:
- 1 large red onion (make sure to slice them thinly!)
- half a cup of vinegar (I recommend Apple Cider Vinegar, but white distilled vinegar also works)
- half a cup of water
- 2 tbsp sugar or sweetener
Optional add-ins:
- Peppercorns
- Fresh Garlic (thinly sliced)
- Dried Coriander
Before you start prepping your ingredients, I should probably mention that the onions need to be left to soak in the vinegar for a couple of hours or overnight. So even though this recipe is super easy and quick to prepare, you will need to make it a couple of hours in advance.
