Learning how to make pickled red onions is SO easy - it only takes five minutes and you probably have all the ingredients! You'll love having a jar of these in your fridge for tacos, avocado toast, and more!

Ingredients

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced ((use a mandoline if you have one))
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup hot water ((not boiling))

Directions

  1. 1

    Slice the red onions as thin as you can. I use a mandoline but a sharp knife works well, too.

  2. 2

    Stuff all the red onions in the jar of your choice. A bowl works too but a jar is easier to store in the fridge.

  3. 3

    In a measuring cup, combine apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar, and warm water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour the pickling mixture over the sliced onions, making sure they are immersed in the liquid, and let them set for an hour.

  4. 4

    After an hour, cover and store in the fridge for up to three weeks.
