Pickled red onions are incredibly easy to make at home. I always have a container in my fridge because they last forever.

You can even use these pickling ratios to make any pickle of your choice, such as pickled cauliflower, eggs, beets, cucumbers, etc!

  • SERVINGS:  2 cups
  • PREP TIME: 5 Mins
  • COOK TIME: 5 Mins
  • TOTAL TIME: 10 Min

Pickled red onions are a great garnish to tacos, salads, etc. Since they are stored in mostly a vinegar mixture, they can last months in the fridge.

Ingredients:

  • 1 red onion, sliced thinly
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp sugar of choice, I used honey here

Preparation:

STEP 1.

Thinly slice or mandolin thin a red onion. Place into a 16 oz mason jar or glass container.

STEP 2.

In a pot, add apple cider vinegar, water, salt, peppercorns, and sugar. Bring up to a simmer, whisk all of the ingredients together, and then take off the heat. Pour into the container with the red onions. Refrigerate.

STEP 3.

After 1 hour in the fridge, your pickled red onions will be ready! Store in the fridge.
