Pickled Red Onions

This is the easiest, two second recipe to put together. I will admit, I am not a huge onion fan, but I do love a pickled onion. The sugar and vinegar in the pickling process cuts the spiciness of the onion and turns it into crunchy, tart goodness.

This recipe is for a smaller jar, but feel free to double or even triple the recipe if you need larger quantities. It is also so versatile. You can add it your own herbs or spices to give the onions a different flavour. Some examples would be, rosemary, thyme, mustard seed, coriander seeds etc. I kept it simple this time.

Use these onions as a topping on sandwiches, burgers, tacos, salads, pita and more because these pickled red onions are worth gossiping about!
