Pickled Red Onions
Pickled red onions are not only gorgeous, but their sweet, tangy flavor perks up just about any dish, from sandwiches to salads to tacos.
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 large red onion, cut into ⅛-inch slices
Instructions
- In a small nonreactive saucepan, bring the vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the onion to the pan. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until the onion slices are softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a medium jar and pour the vinegar mixture over the top. Press the onions down so that they are completely submerged. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before using. Cover the jar and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
