Quick Pickled Onions
I love pickled red onions! I normally serve them with a Mediterranean smorgasbord or as toppings for Asian tacos and sandwiches. I decided to make a batch of pork chilaquiles and wanted to top them with some pickled red onions. These onions seriously take under five minutes to make and they are ready to eat within an hour or two. I normally make them a few hours before I need to use them. They add such a nice tang and texture to so many dishes and my family really loves them. These pickled onions were excellent on the chilaquiles and also delicious on sandwiches the next day.
How to Make Quick Pickled Onions
Combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, and sea salt, to taste, together in a jar. Seal and shake the jar to mix well until the sugar dissolves. Add the onions, really stuffing them down in the jar. Seal with a tight sealing lid and set aside.
Turn the jar upside down every once in a while to allow the vinegar to reach the onions at the top of the jar. They will be ready to eat in a couple of hours. Store in the refrigerator.

Pickled onions are one of my favorite garnishes for just about anything!
Love quickly-pickled veggies! Such good stuff. Good recipe — easy, and delish. Thanks!
What’s not to love about pickling food so fast and easily? And they look pretty in the jar, too, which is an added bonus!
Look delicious !

I hear the brisket in my fridge crying out for this and some corn tortillas.
