Easy Pickled Red Onions

17

One of the best ways to add flavor and color to your dish is this pickled red onion topping. It’s prepared in 5 minutes with a marinate time of at least two hours, so prepare ahead. I prefer to leave mine in the vinegar for at least 24 hours to transfer the flavor into the onion fully and have it soften to my liking.

I like my pickled red onions kind of on the sweet and tangy side so I tend to add a heaping amount of the sugar listed. You can also add some peppercorns to this recipe.
