Easy Quick-Pickled Red Onions
These quick-pickled red onions are a delicious, versatile addition to so many dishes! You can whip them up in just a few minutes, keep them in fridge, and use them as a tangy, crunchy topping on tacos, bowls, and so much more.
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Combine red wine vinegar, water, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and sugar or honey in a glass container with a very tightly-sealing lid.
- Add onion, close the lid, and shake well to combine. You can let this pickle and soften in the fridge ideally overnight, or at least for 1 hour, (though even after 15 minutes it's pretty good.
- I just keep this in the fridge somewhat indefinitely after that, shaking it up every so often. After a couple months I make a new batch.
Notes
- I just keep this in the fridge somewhat indefinitely after that, shaking it up every so often. After a couple months I make a new batch.
- Ideally this can rest in the fridge overnight, but it's great after even just 1 hour, or in a *pinch* 15 minutes.
