Pickled Red Onions

These easy pickled red onions are delicious and versatile. They add a tangy, slightly sweet, and crunchy element to steaks, sandwiches, tacos, burrito bowls and more!

Pickled Red Onions are so simple to make, and add the perfect touch to so many recipes. They’re a tangy and flavorful condiment made by soaking thinly sliced red onions in vinegar, water, sugar, and salt, which infuses them with a sweet and acidic taste and softens their texture. They have a distinctive flavor that combines the red onions’ natural sweetness and slight spiciness with the pickling liquid's tanginess and acidity. Use them as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, avocado toast, enchiladas, nachos, tacos, salads, and grain bowls. And if you love onions, don't miss my Hot Dog Onions!

Pickled onions are a versatile condiment that can add a pop of flavor and color to a wide range of dishes. They are eaten in many cuisines, including Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean. Here are some ideas for using pickled onions – the possibilities are endless!

Pickled onions typically last a few weeks when stored in the refrigerator. The longer they sit, the softer they will become, and their flavor may intensify. If you like a milder taste, rinse them briefly under cold water before eating.

Yes, you can use any vinegar you prefer, which can change the flavor. I chose apple cider for this pickled red onion recipe, but you can play around with other options, like white vinegar, red wine vinegar, or rice wine vinegar, for slightly different profiles.
