Pickled red onion is such an easy topping to make on your own. Just mix some vinegar, salt, and sugar together with some thinly sliced onion and you have toned down sweet and spicy pickled onions!
The longer they sit, the better they get but I have been known to start using them after just a few hours. They are great on tacos, sandwiches, and pulled pork.
You can use this basic pickling liquid recipe with anything else you want to pickle! Cucumbers, carrots, peppers…the possibilities are endless!
Thinly slice red onion. Top with 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp red pepper flakes.
Refrigerate. Pickled onions will be ready to eat the next day, but will become more flavorful as they age. Consume within one month.
